What Sparks Poetry:
Jonathan Skinner on "Unfolder"
"I suppose the poem downplays metamorphosis, and all its metaphorical associations, compressing the monarch’s ontogeny, from egg to larva or caterpillar molting through its instars eating their own shed skin to pupal stage with its cremaster to chrysalis and finally butterfly, into one stanza, like those time-lapse photography films we all watched in school. Instead, 'Unfolder' dilates on the risky moment of sexual encounter." |

Poetry at the Cape Cod National Seashore
"Limón selected seven national parks, including the Cape Cod National Seashore, for her signature project 'You are Here: Poetry in Parks.' The project is a partnership of the Library of Congress, the National Park Service and the Poetry Society of America that features site-specific poetry installations in the parks. Each one will transform a picnic table into a work of public art by featuring a historic American poem that relates to the park in a meaningful way."
