{"product_id":"the-hurting-kind-9781639550494","title":"The Hurting Kind","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn astonishing collection about interconnectedness-between the human and nonhuman, ancestors and ourselves--from National Book Critics Circle Award winner, National Book Award finalist and U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limóoacute;n.\u003c\/b\u003e\"I have always been too sensitive, a weeper \/ from a long line of weepers,\" writes Limón. \"I am the hurting kind.\" What does it mean to be the hurting kind? To be sensitive not only to the world's pain and joys, but to the meanings that bend in the scrim between the natural world and the human world? To divine the relationships between us all? To perceive ourselves in other beings--and to know that those beings are resolutely their own, that they \"do not \/ care to be seen as symbols\"?With Limón's remarkable ability to trace thought, \u003ci\u003eThe Hurting Kind\u003c\/i\u003e explores those questions--incorporating others' stories and ways of knowing, making surprising turns, and always reaching a place of startling insight. These poems slip through the seasons, teeming with horses and kingfishers and the gleaming eyes of fish. And they honor parents, stepparents, and grandparents: the sacrifices made, the separate lives lived, the tendernesses extended to a hurting child; the abundance, in retrospect, of having two families.Along the way, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ewe glimpse loss. There are flashes of the pandemic, ghosts whose presence manifests in unexpected memories and the mysterious behavior of pets left behind. But \u003ci\u003eThe Hurting Kind\u003c\/i\u003e is filled, above all, with connection and the delight of being in the world. \"Slippery and waddle thieving my tomatoes still \/ green in the morning's shade,\" writes Limón of a groundhog in her garden, \"she is doing what she can to survive.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ada Limón\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639550494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2022 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/07\/2022 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAda Limón\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Hurting Kind\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as five other collections of poems.
