I am full of love. I am dying,\" the poet writes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds, and Mark Doty, Limón's work is consistently generous and accessible—though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt, and lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595867930860,"sku":"9781571314710","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781571314710-bright-dead-things.jpg?v=1777909650","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/bright-dead-things-by-ada-limn-9781571314710","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
