Ada Limón 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, Limón's work is consistently generous, accessible, and \"effortlessly lyrical\" (\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e)--though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt, and lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ada Limón\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.4\" H x 5.4\" L x 0.4\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781571314710\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51779813835051,"sku":"9781571314710","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9781571314710.jpg?v=1774926315","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/bright-dead-things-poems-ada-lim-n-paperback","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
