Podcast “Newfangled Love”: Allow yourself a rage with the laureate of the poet Ada Limón

As an American laureate of the poet, Ada Limón had a far -reaching influence. She visited readers and writers throughout the country, installed poems in majestic places in national parks, and even wrote a poem engraved in the NASA spaceship to Jupiter.

Today in the series Our Host Anna Martin talks to Limón about something more personal and intimate: what happens when the writers fall in love hopelessly. She reads a newfangled essay about a love novel, whose devastating falling on the poet gives her a bad case of the writer’s block (before he left her badly broken heart). Limón also says Annie why feeling anger and regret, when we despair, can be a way to be more alive, and she explains why a pair of ancient spants belong to a love poem just like bees and flowers.

Ada Limón’s last book “You are here: poetry in the world of nature” can be found Here.

You can find a contemporary essay Lily King, “an empty heart that can be filled.”

Links to transcripts of sections usually appear on these pages during the week.
