This is a book I will read again. Limón’s poetry reminds me of Blake, but more personal and intimate. And stylistically quite distinct. But the vision is, I think, similar. “The Problem with Travel” alone is worth the cover price.

New favourite slightly gay horse girl poetry with ever-present themes of death unlocked (alongside my girl Plath)
