Bonus: Heroes who disappoint w/Ada Limón
Every Friday, we release bonus material that takes you deeper into the world of Emily Dickinson, and the work of our guest poets.
In Season 1, Episode 4 of Dickinson, Emily has a disappointing encounter with one of her literary heroes, Henry David Thoreau. In this bonus episode, Jericho, Breezy and US Poet Laureate Ada Limón reflect on poets (Carolyn Kizer, Louise Glück, Thomas Sayres Ellis) whose work they love but who let them down (or even broke their heart) in real life. And they celebrate poets (Toi Dericotte, Terrance Hayes, Yona Harvey) who showed them the way to be a poet in the world.

Discussed in this episode:
"Bitch" by Carolyn Kizer
Louise Glück's Nobel Lecture
