Startlement: New and Selected Poems by Ada Limon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Publisher Site – Milkweed Editions

Release: September 30, 2025

This is a Greatest Hits from six of author’s previous collections, plus twenty-one new poems. The poems are clever, personal, and often whimsical. They range from short to intermediate length and employ varied approaches to free verse poetry (with a few prose poems.)

This was my first time reading Limón’s work, and I enjoyed her poems tremendously. I’d highly recommend this book for poetry readers.
