“Everywhere I have traveled during my first term, both nationally and internationally, I’ve been reminded that poetry brings people together. I am looking forward to continuing the important work of celebrating what poetry can do,' Limón said.
The award-winning Mexican American poet Ada Limón has been reappointed as the nation’s poet laureate, the first time a laureate will serve a second term.
"She also laid the groundwork for multiple laureate outreach efforts to come, many with federal agencies,” Hayden said. “A two-year second term gives the laureate and the Library the opportunity to realize these efforts and showcase how poems connect to, and make sense of, the world around us.” After Limón starts her second term in September, the Library will announce in August details of her signature project — a partnership with the National Park Service and the Poetry Society of America to present poems in featured national parks to expose more people to poetry, and laureate initiatives with federal and nonfederal partners.
