leotolstoy 's review for:
The Hurting Kind
by Ada Limón
only half doing the sealey challenge this year but also just choosing to spend some time reading poetry i've been meaning to read.
my first full length limón collection, having read some individual poems floating around the internet, and damn it is everything i hoped and dreamed it would be. Limón writes with such tenderness and such observing, it is heartbreakingly beautiful. i found myself several times having read a particularly touching line and just - breathing deeply and tearing up.
an absolutely incredible body of work, i very much want to read more.
favorite poems were: the hurting kind, the end of poetry, obedience, blowing on the wheel, the first fish, joint custody, calling things what they are, i have wanted clarity in light of my lack of light, how we see each other, intimacy.
