Very deep and emotional!

Call us what we carry this is a very deep book that humanity stands at its core\center.
Humans On this earth always had issues living, we complicate things and blame others and then go into wars. the disaster we make is registered here with its historical lines in a beautiful way.

Covid, black lives matter, and other topics were discussed based on history and what was recorded, then the author added her own words to it.
Her message is clear and hopeful
The younger generation and the older one, both have their own responsibility to carry what was before and continue the heritage in best way possible.

Good luck to us all.

Recommended and gave me goosebumps!

I fell in love with Amanda Gorman's poetry when she spoke at President Bidens' inauguration and have been following her since. When I heard that she was releasing a book I was excited to get my hands on it.
I was not disappointed. This poetry collection is incredible. It covers love, loss, the pandemic, and the insurrection. It is at points hopeful, and at others angry. I was stunned after reading the poem titled 'Survey' as the inspiration behind it is so shocking.
All in all, Amanda Gorman has created a wonder, lyrical, and brutally honest collection of poetry that I would recommend anyone interested in society in America, or the perspective of young people of color should read.
