*Startlement: New and Selected Poems

Perhaps we so deeply appreciate the way Poet Laureate Ada Limón causes the natural and human realms to collide because we yearn for such connection to nature and genuine emotion in a world increasingly weighed down by the trappings of technology and mirages of happiness. Thoughtful observations of nature are the essence of her writing, for example, “If you sit by the riverside, you see a culmination of all things upstream.” *Ada Limón was a featured poet in Tuolumne Meadows during the 2025 Parsons Memorial Lodge Summer Series. Hardcover, 232 pages, Milkweed Editions, 8½”x 5½”.
