A Sonoma native will serve a second term as the United States’ poet laureate. Ada Limón will serve two more years instead of the traditional one-year term for poet laureates. In a statement, Limón said “Everywhere I have traveled during my first term, both nationally and internationally, I’ve been reminded that poetry brings people together. I am looking forward to continuing the important work of celebrating what poetry can do.” Limón has several more projects in the works and expects to unveil her NASA poem on June 1st, which will be engraved on the spacecraft scheduled to explore Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons.
