In her new role as poet laureate of the United States, Ada Limón will help bridge nature and humanity through new poetry initiatives.
Limón assumes the role of poet laureatereclaim their humanity and to repair their relationship with the natural world. “So many people right now are living in their own personal realities, living sort of amidst the chaos and trauma,” she says. “And we’re not even given a moment to breathe, let alone grieve because we’re on to the next hard thing, whether it’s dealing with the pandemic or the climate crisis.
But poetry, as her podcast reminds listeners, is an invitation to slow down and consider what’s happening.For Limón, poetry is about digging into thorny issues, though she coaches her MFA students at Queens University of Charlotte to never lose sight of their mental health. “Remember that when we’re exploring the heavier material of our lives — whether it’s generational trauma, whether it’s our own wounds, whether it’s a political rage — you can’t go down to the bottom of the well unless you have a ladder back out,” she says.
These days, Limón recalls from her home in Lexington, Ky., early and pivotal lessons from nature. Instead of seeing nature as separate from humanity, she implores us to remember that “we are nature too.
