You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World by Ada Limón
Not every poem here is a “nature poem,” but all acknowledge that we are in and of nature, not separate from it. The most basic test of an anthology is whether I want to read more work by the writers in it. For this anthology, the answer is loudly yes. (Including the authors I’ve already read.) I have a favorite poem in this book, but I’m not telling you what it is. The next time I read the book—and there will be a next time—I’ll probably find a different favorite poem. Kudos to Limón for, among other things, curating an anthology and not including her own work.
