The Hurting Kind by Ada Limón
5.0

Ada Limon is a visionary. Her poetry speaks to the jagged edges of living in a body in this world, in this time... This book was healing, and I'll keep it nearby to return to often.

"[...]How much more drama
can one body take? I wake up in the morning and relinquish my dreams.
I go to bed with my beloved. I am delirious with my tenderness.

Once, I was brave, but I have grown so weary of danger.
I am soundlessness amid the constant sounds of war."
