Bright Dead Things: Poems by Ada Limón

emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

2.0

This was a mixed bag for me, and by mixed, I mean truly: I found some of these poems absolutely glorious, but others cringy and boring to no end. Limón’s pen is best when writing about grief and identity; not about daily life and especially, Kentucky. I don’t think I’ll pick up another book by her, but at those glorious instances, I saw the merit her other works might have.
