Please join us for this special evening with U.S. Poet Laureate, Ada Limón. Part conversation and part poetry reading, the event follows Limón as she shares how poetry connects us to the world, allows us to heal, love, grieve, and reminds us of the full spectrum of human emotion.

Book signing to follow the event.

Support for this event was provided in part by Library Friend Dr. Daniel D. Shin.
