Litquake's Lit Cast

Recorded live during Litquake Festival 2025 A beautiful evening was had with U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón as she read and discussed Startlement, an essential collection spanning nearly twenty years of emphatic, fearlessly original poetry from one of America's most celebrated living writers. With no shortage of awards and accolades to her name (MacArthur Genius and Time Woman of the Year, anyone?), Limón looked back on her distinguished career and shared radiant new work for the first time. In conversation with Matthew Zapruder.
