Description
Formerly titled “The Hill We Climb and Other Poems,” 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, this beautifully designed volume features poems in many inventive styles and structures and shines a light on a moment of reckoning. It reveals that Gorman has become our messenger from the past, our voice for the future.
