<i><b>swoon</b></i><br/><b><i>/swu n/</i></b><br/><b><i><br/>verb<br/><br/>1. faint, especially from extreme emotion. 'The girl swooned and had to lie down'<br/>2. be overcome with adoration, or other strong emotion. 'She was swooning over Him'<br/></i><i><br/>Etymology traces to the Old English word 'geswogen', meaning 'overcome'</i><br/><br/></b>On the eve of her wedding, a young woman wrestles with transitions: from adolescence to adulthood, from longing to holding, from womb to birth, from life to death, from darkness to enlightenment, from waking to dreaming, from love to grief.<br/><br/><i>There is only one choice: death or change.</i><br/><br/>In 2023 Imogen Wade won the National Poetry Prize with her poem 'The Time I Was Mugged in New York City', gaining her a wide audience. Her stunning debut , <i>Girl, Swooning</i>, is a startlingly fresh collection about womanhood, love, death and religious experience.<br/><br/>Distinctive, beguiling and compelling from the start, <i>Girl, Swooning</i> marks the emergence of a thrilling new voice.

<i>She's sleeping like a fairy tale girl, before the story</i><br/> <i>teaches girls like her a lesson.</i><br/><br/> In <i>The House of Broken Things</i>, motherhood is a spell, a terrible power, an intelligence, and transformative in all its complexity and ambivalence. These poems move like myth, invoking the ghosts of The House of Broken Things, where <i>'Broken mothers and damaged fathers / slept the sleep of those who do not / have time to think, and fractured children / dreamt the things you might expect / that fractured children dream.'</i><br/><br/> Moore's unflinching collection is an astonishing portrait of a mother. Her body as tender, contested territory. Her instincts fierce. Her mind alive with memories of her own childhood, marvelled by love for her young daughter, sharpened with foreboding for her safety in a broken world that has so often made to break her, too. There are truths our daughters must know, and there are burdens we must never pass on. To make them strong, must we also teach them to be afraid?<br/><br/> Calling the spirits of Anne Sexton, Emily Bronte, Adrienne Rich and others, she conjures an intimate atmosphere of haunted domesticity, the poems questioning and incantatory as a lullaby whispered to a cradled baby. Throughout, fears, griefs and anxieties are paired with moments of great tenderness, wit and revelation: brokenness can feel like a trap, but these poems always offer a way out.<br/><br/> <i>The House of Broken Things</i> is a thrilling new work from one of our boldest and most exciting poets.

<b>'I marvel at Ada Limon's ability to weave on the page her playfulness and wisdom. Her lyricism dances. This is the poetry of a tender and compassionate human' Joan Baez</b><br/><br/><b>'<i>Startlement </i>is a book of rare treasures. With lyrical mastery and intimate storytelling, Limon's poetry reveals new ways of paying attention. This powerful collection is a gift' Amy Tan<br/><br/>'Ada Limon is a bright light in a dark time'</b> Vanity Fair<br/><br/><b>'Limon is a poet of ecstatic revelation' Tracy K. Smith</b>, <i>Guardian</i><br/><br/>Drawing from six previously published books - including widely acclaimed collections <i>The Hurting Kind</i>, <i>The Carrying</i>, and <i>Bright Dead Things</i> - as well as introducing vibrant new work, <i>Startlement </i>exalts the mysterious. With a tender curiosity, Ada Limon wades into potent unknowns - the strangeness of our brief human lives, the ever-changing nature of the universe - and emerges each time with new revelations about our place in the world.<br/><br/>Both a lush overview of her work and a powerful narrative of a poet's life, this curation embodies Limon's capacity for 'deep attention,' her 'power to open us up to the wonder and awe that the world still inspires' (<i>New York Times</i>). From the chaos of youthful desire, to the waxing of love and loss, to the precarity of our environment, to the stars and beyond, Limon's poetry bears witness to the arc of all we know with patient lyricism and humble wonder.<br/><br/>'A poet of ecstatic revelation' (Tracy K. Smith), Limon encourages us to meet our shared futures with open and hungry hearts, assuring 'What we are becoming, we are / becoming together.'
