“The stunning follow-up toBright Dead Things,Ada Limns fifth collection,The Carrying, is full of the scenes and stories shes so apt at telling. Romantic and irreverent, this book is a book of generationspast, present, the potential that is the future. These poems are born of leaves and stardust and invite readers to see the world through those lenses. These poems are car drives to horse races and to the airport, to physical therapy and through the landscape of dreams. These poems are the meditations on every day and the throb of looking for more life in the face of death. The pragmatic lives alongside the surprising to build a constellation of histories (the speakers, language, the animals at the edge of the field). Poems here shine when confronting this worlds strangeness and whats found in strangers: Despair. Grief. And the promise that lives within hope.”
