Resplendent poetry about breaking the cycle of enduring and tolerating, digging deep into layers of apathy to get to the raw core of experience. There is so much love for the world in Limón's writing that it borders on naiveté; but to me right now it feels cathartic to connect with writing that approaches life with an unrestrained desire to observe and to enjoy, and to tell about it with candor.

I love reading poetry and so much of this book was devastating in its simplicity. Ouch.

Shivers. What makes it so appealing is the accessibility of it, really puts you in the poem themselves. Also I like the abrupt endings which somehow fit very well
