"And so I have two brains now. Two entirely different brains. The one that always misses where I’m not, and the one that is so relieved to finally be home."
As expected Ada Limón makes me question and then understand myself better.

The Hurting Kind is a poetry collection by America’s first Latina Poet Laureate. It’s organised by season with many of the poems focussed on nature, but some delve into tonight, more personal subjects like abusive relationships and joint custody. An accessible, mostly soothing collection. I loved listening to the audio (read by the author) while reading.
