Sharks in the River - Ada Limon
This is the debut collection from the poet Laurette of the US. I preferred The Carrying to this one, but this is still rich, dense poetry with sea and river images reflecting our mortality. Limon’s love and despair at humanity shines through, with the harsh elements of nature linking us to the world. I read it once too fast then allowed myself to luxirate in the language on a reread as its poetry that needs some ruminating. (poetry-is-a-way-to-slow-down)
