"Ada Limón's new collection is her best yet, a much needed shot of if not hope,
then perseverance amidst much uncertainty." (NPR)
From National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Ada
Limón comes The Carrying - her most powerful collection yet. Vulnerable,
tender, acute, these are serious and brave poems, exploring with honesty the
ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. 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."
