Ada Limón is a brilliant poet who’s a master of conveying strong emotions through imagery. In her poem “The Last Move” she compares herself to a woman’s body in a water tank, describing how the faucet would spurt or gurgle, to convey feelings of isolation and losing a part of herself when she moved from New York to Kentucky.
Her descriptions of the bluegrass of Kentucky, old horses, death in her family and other strong concepts made each poem feel unique but similar. Almost every poem lured you in with an interesting concept, then shattered you with a powerful last line.
