jasratchford's review against another edition
One of my favourite poetry collections I’ve read. utterly heartbreaking, compelling, the perfect mixture of realism and abstractions. stunning and gorgeous. my favourite is “love poem with apologies for my appearance”

Another brilliant collection of poems by Ada Limón. She’s easily becoming my favorite poet. I particularly enjoy when she mentions birds and animals. But her mentions of grief have me in tears. I thought this collection was very strong, with more mentions of what the body can/can’t do and how that has impacted her life. Listening to this on audio was wonderful and made me tear up a lot. Will be waiting for a physical copy to annotate and copy down my favorite lines.
From "THE VULTURE & THE BODY":
""What if, instead of carrying
a child, I am supposed to carry grief?"
Some favorite poems are "Against Belonging", "Losing", and "Sparrow, What Did You Say?"

I have 2 more Ada Limón books on deck, and I can't wait to be read to filth by them, as well.
