The Carrying: Poems by Ada Limón

5.0
Another brilliant collection of poems by Ada Limón. She’s easily becoming my favorite poet. I particularly enjoy when she mentions birds and animals. But her mentions of grief have me in tears. I thought this collection was very strong, with more mentions of what the body can/can’t do and how that has impacted her life. Listening to this on audio was wonderful and made me tear up a lot. Will be waiting for a physical copy to annotate and copy down my favorite lines.
From "THE VULTURE & THE BODY":
""What if, instead of carrying
a child, I am supposed to carry grief?"
Some favorite poems are "Against Belonging", "Losing", and "Sparrow, What Did You Say?"
