Bright Dead Things: Poems
Ada LimonBright Dead Things examines the chaos that is life, the dangerous thrill of living in a world you know you have to leave one day, & the search to find something that is ultimately “disorderly, & marvellous, & ours.”
A book of bravado & introspection, of 21st-century feminist swagger & harrowing terror & loss, this fourth collection considers how we build our identities out of place & human contact—tracing in intimate detail the various ways the speaker’s sense of self both shifts & perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, loses a dear parent, ages past the capriciousness of youth, & falls in love.
Limon has often been a poet who wears her heart on her sleeve, but in these extraordinary poems that heart becomes a “huge beating genius machine” striving to embrace & understand the fullness of the present moment. “I am beautiful. I am full of love. I am dying,” the poet writes.
Building on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O’Hara, Sharon Olds, & Mark Doty, Limon’s work is consistently generous & accessible - though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt, & lived.
