Review; The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman

As she got famous for her poetry last year, I dedcided reading the poem The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman in book form and today I'll post my review.

Description from Goodreads
Amanda Gorman's powerful and historic poem "The Hill We Climb," read at President Joe Biden's inauguration, is now available as a collectible gift edition.

On 20 January 2021, Amanda Gorman became the sixth and youngest poet to deliver a poetry reading at a presidential inauguration. Taking the stage after the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden, Gorman captivated the nation and brought hope to viewers around the globe. Her poem "The Hill We Climb" can now be cherished in this special gift edition. Including an enduring foreword by Oprah Winfrey, this keepsake celebrates our promise and affirms the power of poetry.

My Thoughts on the Poem
Even if The Hill We Climb may have a few clichés in it, it's still powerful and being rhythmic without a strict metre. It also has a lot of powerful images, yet being very clear at the same time.

I hope Amanda Gorman has a bright future ahead, because I look forward to reading more of her poetry.
