  • This summer, Ada Limón was named the 24th U.S. Poet Laureate and is the first Latina to hold the position. Limón joined American Voices host Alicia Menendez to discuss how she thinks poetry brings people together, the role her stepmother’s death played in her decision to pursue poetry fulltime, and what she thinks Americans get wrong about red states like Kentucky.

    I've always been amazed at how eloquent and articulate the current laureate always seemed. At least up until Ada Limon. How did she get appointed for a second time?!?!

    Lost on a path of destruction
    With endless thoughts and discussions speaking in silence
    I am enraged with violence
    To show my defiance
    While remaining compliant
    Hoping for triumph
    The chain has never been broken.
    Battered and bruised without a snooze
    as if it was destiny for me to lose
    It wasn’t my choice to choose
    Out of many one we derive from a wider clan feared by the tyrants
    Who invented social distractions and use monetary satisfaction to manipulate our actions.
    The chain has never been broken.
    What you think of this poem?
