Ada Limón's latest book of poems, The Carrying, was just released this month by Milkweed Editions, and it's just beautiful. In this episode, Ada and I discuss the book, the power of naming, connection with the Earth, and her collaboration with poet Natalie Diaz. Then in the second segment, we talked about travel and artistic pilgrimages.

(Conversation recorded August 17, 2018.)

Bonus Reading: Subscribers to the KTCO Patreon campaign can hear Ada read her poem “Instructions on Not Giving Up.”
