Ada Limon
This week, our guest is Ada Lim\xf3n, he United States Poet Laureate. Limon has published six books of poetry, including The Carrying, The Hurting Kind, and Bright Dead Things. On February 22nd, 2024, Lim\xf3n came to The Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk to Alexis Madrigal about the ways in which the natural world inspires her work \u2013 from the landscape of her youth in Sonoma County, California, to Kentucky, where she lives today. She also talked about writing a poem to be engraved on a NASA spacecraft that will launch in the autumn of 2024. Limon says that poetry isn\u2019t just meant to be read \u2013 it\u2019s meant to be read out loud - and this program also includes her reading several poems.
