A poem full with hope. I myself have a hard time imagining that the US will be united the way Gorman says. But the inspiration and hope she conveys is maybe what is needed.

A wordsmith to remember...
"Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew.
That even as we hurt, we hoped.
That even as we tired, we tried.
That we’ll forever be tied together, victorious."

The chills I got while she spoke this at the inauguration compelled me to read it, and I am so glad I did. This poem is breathtaking and leaves you with a sense of hope for our country.

I honestly thought this was The Hill We Climb and Other Poems, but just having the title poem is good too.

The poetry itself wasn’t innovative and I think the context/time period was more important here

Great! Even better if you can watch Ms. Gorman read it. Her delivery is beautiful!
