Summer at the Racetrack with Ada Limon
Briefly

People always asking, 'You have so many horses in your poems-what are they a metaphor for?' I think they're not really a metaphor. Out here, they're just horses.
Limón, who's the current Poet Laureate of the United States, took us on a tour of Keeneland racecourse, in Lexington, and read her poem 'How to Triumph Like a Girl.'
