Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious and brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. 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, \/ I¿ll take it,¿ she writes. ¿I¿ll take it all.¿  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104291668208,"sku":"2940169052466","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169052466_p0.jpg?v=1763670424","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169052466","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
