The Carrying: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry de Ada Limón

The Carrying: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry

Autor Ada Limón
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 feb 2019

Relevanța acestui volum pentru literatura contemporană este confirmată de distincția National Book Critics Circle Award, plasând The Carrying în centrul canonului poetic actual. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Ada Limón reușește să transforme experiențele personale — de la lupta cu infertilitatea și vertijul cronic, până la îngrijirea părinților aflați la bătrânețe — într-o meditație universală despre ceea ce purtăm cu noi într-o lume imperfectă. Credem că forța acestui volum rezidă în onestitatea brutală cu care abordează momentul ambiguu dintre entuziasmul tinereții și grația acceptării.

Din punct de vedere stilistic, The Carrying este o lucrare de o vulnerabilitate urgentă, unde corpul feminin devine un peisaj al rezilienței. Comparabil cu What We Carry de Dorianne Laux în rigurozitatea cu care sondează faptele dure ale supraviețuirii, volumul lui Limón este însă mai ancorat în climatul politic și social actual, oferind o perspectivă nuanțată asupra identității americane contemporane. În contextul operei sale, dacă în Bright Dead Things autoarea explora tranziția geografică și pierderea, iar în Sharks in the Rivers se concentra pe dislocarea de rădăcini, în The Carrying ea atinge o maturitate a vocii poetice care acceptă „întregul” existenței. Structura celor 112 pagini echilibrează magistral momentele de extaz cu cele de doliu, demonstrând de ce Ada Limón este considerată una dintre cele mai importante voci ale generației sale.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte cititorilor care caută o poezie a prezenței și a adevărului necosmetizat. Veți descoperi un volum care nu fuge de durere, ci o integrează în experiența umană completă. Este o lectură esențială pentru a înțelege cum literatura poate oferi un limbaj comun pentru traumele invizibile ale feminității, oferind în schimb o formă rară de consolare prin acceptare și rigoare intelectuală.

Descriere

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR POETRY 2019

Ada Limón is a poet of ecstatic revelation . . . a book of deep wisdom and urgent vulnerability' Tracy K. Smith, Guardian

'Vulnerable, tender, acute . . . The Carrying is a gift' Natasha Trethewey, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and former US Poet Laureate

'Exquisite poems' Roxane Gay

From National Book Critics Circle Award Winner Ada Limón comes The Carrying - her most powerful collection yet.

Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility - 'What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?' - and a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: 'Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something brutal.' And still Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives. 'Fine then, / I'll take it,' she writes. 'I'll take it all.'

The Carrying leads us deeper towards the hard-won truth of what it means to live in an imperfect world.

Recenzii

I was ambushed by her power to move - several poems brought a lump to my throat. She never hides behind words but reveals herself through them . . . It describes an effortful time that makes these apparently effortless, quick-release poems all the more merciful and beautiful. There is nothing self-indulgent here but there is humorous self-assertion . . . Part of the pleasure of reading Limon is the way she transports you to a Kentucky punctuated by the noise of trains, the presence of horses, the planting of seeds. This is as-the-crow files poetry - it goes straight to the heart.
Exquisite poems about love, fertility, desire, this natural world we move through, the political climate, so much more
In her dazzling, precise, transformative collection, The Carrying, Ada Limon offers us meditations on mortality, womanhood, the body, and that which grows in the earth, all the while slyly positing: How should we treat each other in this precarious life? Like humans, is her answer. Like humans
In these poems, joy and longing and grief sing with a music that- regardless of what I am burdened or blessed to carry - makes me want to live passionately and fully in the difficult world. The Carrying is a gift
I am thankful for this collection, for its wisdom and generosity, for its insistence on holding tight to beauty even as we face disintegration and destruction
Ada Limón is a poet of ecstatic revelation. Her poetry feels fast, full of detail, often playful, and driven by a conversational voice. This book represents a powerful deepening of the poet's perspective into themes of loss, chronic pain, fear of the 21st century's ongoing devastations, concern for the natural world. It's a book of deep wisdom and urgent vulnerability, driven by language that feels not only beautiful but permanent and powerfully wrought, like a mountain. It leads you to the beautiful bright mountaintop of language, then guides you gently down into the rocky valleys of a conscious human heart
One of the best books of the year
[Ada Limon's] new collection is her best yet, a much needed shot if not of hope, then perseverance amid much uncertainty
Her poems masterfully weave those quiet moments of grief and strength with expansive questions about life and womanhood. It's a privilege to witness her work
'Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. The Carrying is a gift'
Natasha Trethewey, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and former US Poet Laureate
