The Hurting Kind
Ada Limón's 2022 collection on kinship between people, animals, plants and ancestors.
Published by Milkweed Editions in 2022, this collection comes from Ada Limón, a National Book Critics Circle Award winner and National Book Award finalist. Its subject is interconnectedness, between the human and the nonhuman and between ancestors and ourselves. Limón calls herself a weeper from a long line of weepers, the hurting kind, and asks what it means to be that sensitive, to the world’s pain and to its beauty.
