About this Event

Co-presented with City Arts & Lectures



We're joining forces with City Arts & Lectures to celebrate the release of Ada Limón's latest. From the publisher: 24th Poet Laureate of the United States, AGAINST BREAKING: ON THE POWER OF POETRY inspires us to see poetry as much more than just words—as a powerful force for healing, a call to action, and a vibrant celebration of humanity’s many voices. Ada will be talking with her friend and Forum host, Alexis Madrigal$50 with LITQUAKE4 (limited signed books available)

"...a slim, approachable meditation on poetry as a lens through which readers can view themselves and the world." — New York Times
