Thanks to librofm ALC program for a free listening copy to review!


I really enjoyed this one, a couple poems even made me tear up on my drive to work so that was fun. 

I’d def recommend if you like poetry, and hearing the author read it in the audiobook is always a pleasant experience.

Resplendent poetry about breaking the cycle of enduring and tolerating, digging deep into layers of apathy to get to the raw core of experience. There is so much love for the world in Limón's writing that it borders on naiveté; but to me right now it feels cathartic to connect with writing that approaches life with an unrestrained desire to observe and to enjoy, and to tell about it with candor.
