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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA 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 Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Fine then, \/ I'll take it,' she writes. 'I'll take it all.'The Carrying leads us deeper towards the hard-won truth of what it means to live in an imperfect world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished:  2019, UK\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Corsair\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9781472154552\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ada Limón","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57210541441355,"sku":null,"price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9781472154552-2.jpg?v=1777905360","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/the-carrying","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
