A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility--"What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?"--And a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: "Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something brutal." And still Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives. "Fine then, / I'll take it," she writes. "I'll take it all." In Bright Dead Things, Limón showed us a heart "giant with power, heavy with blood"--"the huge beating genius machine / that thinks, no, it knows, / it's going to come in first." In her follow-up collection, that heart is on full display--even as The Carrying continues further and deeper into the bloodstream, following the hard-won truth of what it means to live in an imperfect world."--Publisher's website. 520 $a Vulnerable, tender, acute, Limón's poems explore with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance-- while examining the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives. -- adapted from publisher info. 541 $d 20220415. 650 1 $a American poetry $x Women authors. 650 1 $a American poetry $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Poetry. 941 $a 2 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011142.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20220705010210.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C019195AFC2711ECABE445E131ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
