Limón explores broad themes of loss, grief, love, and hope throughout this collection with such tenderness. Her poems are straightforward and grounded—maybe a little heavy-handed at times—but the simplicity of them opens up the opportunity for the reader to really bask in their affectivity.
Some favorites: “How Far Away We Are,” “I Remember the Carrots,” “Downhearted,” “What It Looks Like to Us and the Words We Use,” “Relentless,” “Oh Please, Let It Be Lightning,” and “Lies About Sea Creatures”
Read for the Sealey Challenge.
