On January 20, 2021, Amanda Gorman became the sixth and youngest poet to deliver a poetry reading at a presidential inauguration. Taking the stage after the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden, Gorman captivated the nation and brought hope to viewers around the globe with her call for unity and healing. Her poem "The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country" can now be cherished in this special gift edition, perfect for any reader looking for some inspiration. Including an enduring foreword by Oprah Winfrey, this remarkable keepsake celebrates the promise of America and affirms the power of poetry.
I am not normally one to read poetry, but this is exceptional.
It is beautiful, hopeful, strong, and honest.
The hope and faith Gorman shows through her writing makes reading it all the more painful, as we look at the state of the US and how we treat everyone domestically and abroad.
