Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

This book will make you want to read more poetry.  Truly outstanding.   It took me over a year to finish the book because each poem, each line makes you sit and thing.  Almost all of it is set during the pandemic, and is a meditation on what we faced.  Would this be as impactful to those who did not live through COVID? Probably would because she brings in so many timeless themes.  It may not hit the same to hit everyone, but the poems will hit you. So well done.
