The breakout poetry collection by Sunday Times bestselling author and presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman
'This is poetry rippling with communal recognition and empathy' Guardian
'This is more than protest. It's a promise.'
Including The Hill We Climb, the stirring poem read at the inauguration of the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden, this luminous poetry collection by 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, these seventy 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.
'I think we all need more poetry - specifically her poetry - in our lives' i
