Paperback. Etat : Fair. Bright Dead Things examines the chaos that is life, the dangerous thrill of living in a world you know you have to leave one day, and the search to find something that is ultimately "disorderly, and marvelous, and ours." A book of bravado and introspection, of 21st century feminist swagger and harrowing terror and loss, this fourth collection considers how we build our identities out of place and human contact--tracing in intimate detail the various ways the speaker's sense of self both shifts and perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, loses a dear parent, ages past the capriciousness of youth, and falls in love. Limon has often been a poet who wears her heart on her sleeve, but in these extraordinary poems that heart becomes a "huge beating genius machine" striving to embrace and understand the fullness of the present moment. "I am beautiful. I am full of love. I am dying," the poet writes. Building on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds, and Mark Doty, Limon's work is consistently generous and accessible--though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt, and lived.…

Hardback. Etat : Fair. An astonishing collection about interconnectedness?between the human and nonhuman, ancestors and ourselves?from National Book Critics Circle Award winner, National Book Award finalist and U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón.?I have always been too sensitive, a weeper / from a long line of weepers,? writes Limón. ?I am the hurting kind.? What does it mean to be the hurting kind? To be sensitive not only to the world?s pain and joys, but to the meanings that bend in the scrim between the natural world and the human world? To divine the relationships between us all? To perceive ourselves in other beings?and to know that those beings are resolutely their own, that they ?do not / care to be seen as symbols??With Limón?s remarkable ability to trace thought, The Hurting Kind explores those questions?incorporating others? stories and ways of knowing, making surprising turns, and always reaching a place of startling insight. These poems slip through the seasons, teeming with horses and kingfishers and the gleaming eyes of fish. And they honor parents, stepparents, and grandparents: the sacrifices made, the separate lives lived, the tendernesses extended to a hurting child; the abundance, in retrospect, of having two families.Along the way, we glimpse loss. There are flashes of the pandemic, ghosts whose presence manifests in unexpected memories and the mysterious behavior of pets left behind. But The Hurting Kind is filled, above all, with connection and the delight of being in the world. ?Slippery and waddle thieving my tomatoes still / green in the morning?s shade,? writes Limón of a groundhog in her garden, ?she is doing what she can to survive..…
