Product Description

An 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 Limon. "I have always been too sensitive, a weeper, from a long line of weepers," writes Limon. "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 Limon's remarkable ability to trace thought, The Hurting Kind 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, we glimpse loss.
