People die, alliances are struck, and none of it is mentioned while Spensa is on her own adventure. They contain critical plot that absolutely affects the state of the galaxy and happens completely “off screen” in CYTONIC.

They are meticulously honed and gorgeously crafted.”― Huffington Post ![]() “These poems are, as my students might say, hella intimate. Building on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O’Hara, Sharon Olds, and Mark Doty, Limón’s work is consistently generous and accessible-though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt, and lived. Limón 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 and understand the fullness of the present moment. “ Limón’s poems are like fires: charring the page, but leaving a smoke that remains past the close of the book.” - The Millionsīright Dead Things examines the chaos that is life, the dangerous thrill of living in a world you know you have to leave one day, and the search to find something that is ultimately “disorderly, and marvelous, and ours.”Ī book of bravado and introspection, of 21st century feminist swagger and harrowing terror and loss, this fourth collection considers how we build our identities out of place and human contact-tracing in intimate detail the various ways the speaker’s sense of self both shifts and perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, loses a dear parent, ages past the capriciousness of youth, and falls in love. ![]() ![]() I don’t know why but I usually have a hard time reviewing second books because they’re either as awesome as the first or a complete disappointment in comparison to it.
