The Hurting Kind | Ada Limon
post image

“I like to call things as they are. Before, the only thing I was interested in was love, how it grips you, how it terrifies you, how it annihilates and resuscitates you. I didn‘t know then that it wasn‘t even love that I was interested in, but my own suffering. I thought suffering kept things interesting. How funny that I called it love and the whole time it was pain.“

—from “Calling Things What They Are“

This is today's poem from my poetry advent calendar—paired with a mug of vanilla chai from my tea advent calendar.

Caryl I‘ve been reading Ada Limón‘s poetry this year. I love her! This is one of my favorites from her collection 2mo
BarbaraJean @Caryl She has been on my list to read for a while! I've read a few of her poems in other places (anthologies, etc.), but I need to prioritize reading one of her collections! 2mo

A series of poems examining Harjo‘s heritage, including such events like the Trail of Tears.

Just as good as her memoir that I read last year. Powerful and emotional, Harjo‘s examination of her personal identity as well as the larger identity of her community are stark. Absolutely worth listening to her read this herself! #TheSealeyChallenge 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
