Book description
An essential collection spanning nearly twenty years of emphatic, fearlessly original poetry from one of America's most celebrated living writers.Drawing from six previously published books-including widely acclaimed collections The Hurting Kind, The Carrying, and Bright Dead Things-as well as vibrant new work, Startlement exalts the mysterious. With a tender curiosity, Limón wades into potent unknowns-the strangeness of our brief human lives, the ever-changing nature of the universe-and emerges each time with new revelations about our place in the world.Both a lush overview of her work and a powerful narrative of a poet's life, this curation embodies Limón's capacity for "deep attention," her "power to open us up to the wonder and awe that the world still inspires" (The New York Times). From the chaos of youthful desire, to the waxing of love and loss, to the precarity of our environment, to the stars and beyond, Limón's poetry bears witness to the arc of all we know with patient lyricism and humble wonder."A poet of ecstatic revelation" (Tracy K. Smith), Limón encourages us to meet our shared futures with open and hungry hearts, assuring "What we are becoming, we are / becoming together."

With this app, reading is no longer confined to a specific time or place. Auto-rewind feature is a lifesaver. I never lose my place! An average audiobook experience.

Looping playback is my favorite study tool. It's a game-changer for mastering challenging content. Navigating through chapters is effortless with ListenBook. It's a user-friendly and intuitive experience. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
