The Breed of the Vulnerable

Ada Limon is an American poet, recipient of international Guggenheim, MacArthur, and Women of the Year fellowships. Ada Limon's poetic worldview is characterized not only by an inclination toward refined forms but also by a deep sensuality that reveals unexpected... sides of the surrounding world. Alongside great predecessors such as Joseph Brodsky, Robert Frost, and Louise Glück, she has been awarded the title of Poet Laureate of the Library of Congress (2023). "The Breed of the Vulnerable" invites the reader on a journey through the confusion of emotions and emotional pain. These poems are scars and traces, slightly lifting the veil of the past and helping to cope with the future.
