Description:

The poet Ada Limón grew up going to the racetrack with her stepfather, who loved to play the ponies.  As an adult, she left the home she had made in New York to move to Lexington, Kentucky, with the man who is now her husband.  She fell in love with horses all over again—especially the fillies—and they found their way into her collection of poems “Bright Dead Things.”  This spring, she visited Keeneland Racecourse and read her poem “How to Triumph Like a Girl.”
