Amanda Gorman, “The Hill We Climb” (2021)

Amanda Gorman, a 22 year old poet from Los Angeles, becomes the youngest inaugural poet in memory as President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris take office. There have only been a handful of inaugural poets; Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy were the only presidents in the past who chose to have poems read at their inaugurations. You can read all the previous poems here.

“There is always light, if only we are brave enough to see it,

if only we are brave enough to be it.”
