"The luminous poetry collection by #1 New York Times bestselling author and presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman captures a shipwrecked moment in time and transforms it into a lyric of hope and healing. In Call Us What We Carry, Gorman explores history, language, identity, and erasure through an imaginative and intimate collage. Harnessing the collective grief of a global pandemic, her poems shine a light on a moment of reckoning and reveal that Gorman has become our messenger from the past, our voice for the future"--Jacket.
The presidential inaugural poet--and unforgettable new voice in American poetry--presents a collection of poems that includes "The Hill We Climb", the stirring poem read at the 2021 inauguration of the 46th President of the United States, Joseph Biden.
