Some of the poems were a bit too wordy for me but many had great lines and themes. Overall I'll definitely reach for the other collections by the author.

challenging emotional hopeful reflective slow-paced

I loved seeing Limon in person when she did a reading in Kansas just after her poetry was sent into outer space. This collection of poetry was very personal to Limon and very thoughtfully written.

I love Ada Limon's poetry style, she seamlessly balances the lyrical with the conversational, and she gleans such breathtaking meaning from even the most ordinary moments.
