The Hurting Kind by Ada Limón

3.0

Wanted to read more poetry collections for National Poetry Month, but I got a late start and had to wait for the ones I wanted. Since this one is by a poet laureate, I thought I might like it more, but the vagueness of themes and tendency toward nature as subject matter didn't connect with me. There were some poems I enjoyed, the title poem included, but the collection as a whole didn't spark a lot from me in feeling. Maybe on a reread in the future, if that were ever to happen.
