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\"?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Limón's remarkable ability to trace thought, \u003cem\u003eThe Hurting Kind\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, we glimpse loss. There are flashes of the pandemic, ghosts whose presence manifests in unexpected memories and the mysterious behavior of pets left behind. But \u003cem\u003eThe Hurting Kind\u003c\/em\u003e is filled, above all, with connection and the delight of being in the world. \"Slippery and waddle thieving my tomatoes still \/ green in the morning's shade,\" writes Limón of a groundhog in her garden, \"she is doing what she can to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAda Limón \u003c\/strong\u003eis the twenty-fourth Poet Laureate of the United States.
