Call Us What We Carry
by Amanda Gorman
This collection includes not only Gorman's poem that she read during Biden's inauguration "The Hill We Climb", but also several poems that reflect current events, such as the pandemic. Several of the poems bring to light historic people who are overlooked in history classes.
As always Gorman is a joy to read and she makes you think. For instance, from "Listening" : "It took us losing ourselves/ To see we require no kingdom/ But this kinship" (44). Or from "Another Nautical" : "Words, also like water,/Are a type of washing,/ Through them we cleanse ourselves of what we are not".
