A 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. Fine then, \/ Ill take it, she writes. Ill take it all.In Bright Dead Things, Limón showed us a heart giant with power, heavy with blood-the huge beating genius machine \/ that thinks, no, it knows, \/ its going to come in first. In her follow-up collection, that heart is on full display-even as The Carrying continues further and deeper into the bloodstream, following the hard-won truth of what it means to live in an imperfect world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52275668451616,"sku":"NEW1571315136","price":19.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71STUX4dccL.jpg?v=1788089820","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-carrying-poems-1571315136","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
