The Carrying: Poems, by Ada Limón
3 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved her previous collection, Bright Dead Things, so I picked up this, her next collection. I didn’t like it as much. I’m not sure why, the writing was still good but perhaps the topics didn’t grab me as much, or at least didn’t grab me at this moment in time. Having said that, I really enjoyed “Dead Stars” and “The Millionth Dream of Your Return”. By far, my two favorites were “Wonder Woman” and “The Contract Says: We’d Like the Conversation to Be Bilingual”.
