This book is about love and grief and fear, but above all it's about being vulnerable and sensitive to life.
All this from the point of view of a California woman of Mexican descent and child of divorced parents.
I haven't read a lot of poetry books in my life, but in this one I highlighted MANY poems that impacted me. And it gets better with every page.
It's not a book to devour, but to savor. So my tip is to read it in the pauses of daily life.

Ada Limon, you have once again outdone yourself. My favorite poems make me feel comfortably positioned between imagery and word. In these pages, there is an aliveness that simply cannot be described. These poems explore grief, ancestry, wonder, curiosity and the questions that riddle us into becoming whole-how that process is painful but also remarkable.
To be able to turn your heart to nature when human connection feels imminent is a very powerful skill.
Hurray for Milkweed Publishing getting this out. Minneapolis, I love you and the land you stand on.
