Description
"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 Lim̤n 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'. 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
