We've learned that quiet isn't always peace Where can we find light in this never-ending shade? Please note that the below interpretations are my own.
In this blog post, I’m sharing the 3 biggest takeaways from Amanda Gorman’s poem. After the ceremony was over, I couldn’t help myself from reading the full poem again (and again) and from learning more about Gorman. However, Gorman’s work reached me in more ways than I could have imagined possible. And honestly speaking, I often find it hard to relate to them. Gorman delivered her poem that echoes messages of unity, healing, grief, and hope with such poise and grace. The 22-year-old Harvard graduate had won my heart within the 5 minutes she spoke on national TV. I thought she completely stole the spotlight and shined brighter than any star on the stage. I was looking forward to her poem recitation during the presidential inauguration ceremony but only as much as I was excited about Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez’s performances.Īfter President Joe Biden and Madam Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn in this morning, Gorman delivered her poem titled The Hill We Climb - and I realized, I was wrong about her sounding “cool.” Amanda Gorman is very awesome. I read the article about her and thought: “she sounds cool!” I started following her on Instagram as I was impressed with her work and her talent. The day before the inauguration ceremony, I came across an Instagram post on about a young poet named Amanda Gorman.
