A review by magicshop
Sharks in the Rivers by Ada Limón

emotional reflective medium-paced

3.0

 Hours into the afternoon we swam to each other
 and walked upriver. I remember thinking this
 was what life was, and what I had always wanted,
 outside, by the river, being pressed on a warm, flat
 rock as if our wet imprint there would matter,
 as if to say, I am holding on. I am holding on.

my least favorite ada limón so far, but still contains multiple standout poems regardless. worth a read! and yes i'm still in love with her

favorites:
  • high water
  • not enough
  • crush
  • the russian river
