Bright Dead Things - by Ada Limón (Paperback)

Bright Dead Things is a stunning collection of poems that delve into the complexities of life, love, loss, and identity.

With a unique blend of bravado and introspection, these poems explore the human experience with a feminist swagger and harrowing loss.

The poet's heart becomes a "huge beating genius machine" as she embraces and understands the fullness of the present moment, despite the capriciousness of youth and the inevitability of death.

Through intimate details, the speaker traces the ways her sense of self shifts and perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, losing a dear parent, and falling in love.

With effortlessly lyrical language, Bright Dead Things is consistently generous, accessible, and thoughtfully lived.

This collection is a must-read for anyone looking for a powerful and moving exploration of the human experience.
