BOOKS I READ: The Carrying (2018) by Ada Limón. A collection of revealing personal poems. One gets to know, intimately, Limón, her lover-cum-husband, his exes, and their dogs and horses. Rural Kentucky plays a big role. She longs to be mother, settles for her dog’s company. Her mother is featured in the standout, The Raincoat. Among other poems that sparked, Time Is On Fire was special. (Jan 2021)
