WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD<\/p>\n

FINALIST FOR THE PEN\/JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD<\/p>\n

From U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Lim\u00f3n\u00a0comes The Carrying\u2014her most powerful collection yet.<\/p>\n

Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, 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\u2014\u201cWhat if, instead of carrying \/ a child, I am supposed to carry grief?\u201d\u2014and a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: \u201cEvery song of this country \/ has an unsung third stanza, something brutal.\u201d And still Lim\u00f3n shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives. \u201cFine then, \/ I\u2019ll take it,\u201d she writes. \u201cI\u2019ll take it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Bright Dead Things, Lim\u00f3n showed us a heart \u201cgiant with power, heavy with blood\u201d\u2014\u201cthe huge beating genius machine \/ that thinks, no, it knows, \/ it\u2019s going to come in first.\u201d In her follow-up collection, that heart is on full display\u2014even as\u00a0The Carrying\u00a0continues further and deeper into the bloodstream, following the hard-won truth of what it means to live in an imperfect world.<\/p>\n
