Spotlight Poet: Amanda Gorman

article image placeholderInaugural poet Amanda Gorman recites The Hill We Climb
So I decided, in her honor, I am going to start a new series here on this arts swell Cast, where we highlight some incredible poets. And the first spotlight poet we have is Amanda Gorman herself. Amanda is the youngest inaugural poet in American history. She just graduated from Laude from Harvard University, where she studied sociology. And she has three books coming out sometime soon. And she's written for The New York Times

the rest of "In This Place (An American Lyric)"

The story of a Texas city depleted but not defeated, a history written that need not be repeated. A nation composed but not yet completed. There's a poem poem in this place, a poem in America, a poet and every American who rewrites this nation who tells a story worthy of being told on this minnow of an Earth to breathe hope into a palm Fest of time. A poet and every American who sees that our poem penned doesn't mean our poems end
