Then in 2018, she published a brilliant essay called "Complicating the Narratives," which she opened by confessing a professional existential crisis.

Well, a lot of us I think are still a little agoraphobic.

You boiled it down. Unknown. Tippett: And then Joint Custody from The Hurting Kind. But in the present era of tribalism, it feels like weve reached our collective limitations Again and again, we have escalated the conflict and snuffed the complexity out of the conversation.. And I think most poets are drawn to that because it feels like what were always trying to do is say something that cant always entirely be said, even in the poem, even in the completed poem. And then I kept thinking, What are the other things I can do that with?. The one that always misses where Im not. And there was an ease, I think, that living in the head-only world was kind of a poets dream on some level. in the ground, under the feast up above. Yeah.

Just uncertainty is so hard on our bodies. the trash, the rolling containers a song of suburban thunder. But I think the biggest thing for me is to begin with silence.

Ada Limn reads her poem, "Dead Stars.". The fear response, the stress response, it had so many other kinds of ripple effects that were so perplexing. And the right habitat for that, for all human flourishing, is for us to begin with a sense of belonging, with a sense of ease, with a sense that even though we are desirous and even though we want all of these things, right now, being alive, being human is enough. Funny thing about grief, its hold And I am so thrilled to have this conversation with Ada Limn to be part of our first season. And it says, You are here. And I felt like every day Id write a poem was literally putting that little, You are here dot on a map. Because how do we care for one another? So I love it when I feel like the conversations Im having start to be in conversation with each other. Tippett: You see what I did? nest rigged high in the maple. recycling bin until you say, Man, we should really learn I was so fascinated when I read the earlier poem. So I think thats where, for me, I found any sort of sense of spirituality or belonging. is so bright and determined like a flame, And then to do it on top of really global grief, that is a very kind of different work because then you think, Well, who am I to look at this flower? And also that notion and these are other things you said that poetry recognizes our wholeness. [Laughter] I feel like I could hear that response, right? This is amazing.

So it had this kind of wonderful way of existing in an aliveness of a language, aliveness of a second language as opposed to just sort of a need to get something or to use.

Tippett: I think grief is something that is very We have so much to grieve even as we have so much to walk towards. And then what happened was the list that was in my head of poems I wasnt going to write became this poem. We think were divided by issues, arguing about conflicting facts.
