The Poem I Wish I Had Read: Ada Limón

Ada Limon reads and discusses "Sorrow is Not My Name" by Ross Gay

“No matter the pull toward brink. No / matter the florid, deep sleep awaits. / There is a time for everything.” Ada Limón reads “Sorrow Is Not My Name” by Ross Gay and shares why this poem means so much to her for this new video series “The Poem I Wish I Had Read,” created by the Boutelle-Day Poetry Center at Smith College.
