Description

Ada Limón's Against Breaking is a powerful exploration of the role of poetry in our lives. As the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States, Limón draws on her own experiences to make a compelling case for the healing, transformative, and celebratory power of poetry. With accessible yet profound prose, she invites readers to explore the richness of human experience through verse. Limón's work is deeply connected to the natural world and our place within it, a theme that is at the heart of her project You Are Here. Her writing feels like an open invitation, welcoming readers to explore the beauty of our environment and our shared humanity. This slim but impactful book offers a refuge for those seeking to understand themselves and their place in the world. Through her poetry and prose, Limón reminds us of our tenderness, courage, imperfections, and deep worthiness of love. If you need to remember what makes us human, tender, brave, flawed, and worthy of love, you need poetry.
