Description
“I think it's really important to remember that poetry has always sort of existed in the moment. It's full of the life that we're living right now. It is a remnant of the life that we're living right now. You know, distilled moments, it's the mess of our life. It's all of those things. And I think we do ourselves a disservice if we think those things don't include joy, that don't include breath and contentedness and moments of peace. And we all have that sometimes, as we struggle.” Ada Limón, our 24th US Poet Laureate and host of the poetry podcast The Slowdown, joins us on the show to take us behind the scenes of her newest book, The Hurting Kind, and talk about the purpose of art, honoring the slipperiness of time, the importance and pleasure of reading out loud, her literary inspirations and more with Poured Over’s host, Miwa Messer. Featured Books: The Hurting Kind by Ada Limón Lucky Wreck by Ada Limón The Friend by Sigrid Nunez Less by Andrew Sean Greer Chilean Poet by Alejandro Zambra Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.
