Hi, you're listening to the New Yorker Poetry Podcast.
I'm Kevin Young, poetry editor of the New Yorker magazine.
On this program, we invite a poet to select a poem from the New Yorker archive to read and discuss.
Then they read one of their own poems that's been published in the magazine.
Today, my guest is the poet and memoirist Richard Blanco.
He's the recipient of a National Humanities Medal and of many other honors, including a Lambda Literary Award, the Patterson Poetry Prize, and the Tom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry.
He was selected by Barack Obama as the fifth presidential inaugural poet in U.S.
history and was named as the American Academy of Poets first ever education ambassador.
Richard, welcome.
