Brian Plunkett reviewed Hurting Kind by Ada Limon
The Hurting Kind - 4 Stars
4 stars
When the first poem (Give Me This) focused on a groundhog eating the tomatoes in the author's garden, I had a feeling that I would connect well with this book. Some of the other poems that seem to be sticking in my mind are Intimacy (regarding her mother's interaction with horses) and The Mountain Lion (maybe because I just recently attended a great library program featuring trail cam videos of wildlife in the Chicago suburbs).
