It's National Poetry Month and we're celebrating with U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón! She showed us her favorite part of the Library's Jefferson Building and, in case you missed it, she's also the guest editor this month of The Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day series! | The Library of Congress

I don't write poetry to just publish books. I give my poems away every day for free here on FB like I am sending out messages into deep space. I have no real interest in the publishing world - I am just obsessed with connecting people in real-time as I write. I have published my other poetry collections as a way to help people have actual physical copies of my work. This is not a money-making venture for me - it's a passion project. All of that, of course, makes me the worst businessperson ever.
