Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Like so many, I was transfixed and moved by Amanda Gorman’s performance of her poem "The Hill We Climb" at President Biden's inauguration, and now I can’t wait to read her first full collection. Recommended By Keith M., Powells.com

Publisher Comments

The breakout poetry collection by #1 New York Times bestselling author and presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman

Formerly titled The Hill We Climb and Other Poems, Amanda Gorman's remarkable new collection reveals an energizing and unforgettable voice in American poetry. Call Us What We Carry is Gorman at her finest. Including "The Hill We Climb," the stirring poem read at the inauguration of the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden, and bursting with musical language and exploring themes of identity, grief, and memory, this lyric of hope and healing captures an important moment in our country's consciousness while being utterly timeless.

Review

"Gorman’s thoughtfulness and activist spirit shine through on every page." Publishers Weekly

Review

"An inspired anthem for the next generation — a remarkable poetry debut." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

Review

"In seven sections and through poems that often experiment with form, the book sets out to tell the story of the COVID-19 pandemic from a collective point of view, with Gorman exploring the grief, hope and wisdom that come from a period of shared tragedy." Time.com

Review

"In Call Us What We Carry, Gorman has written a mnemonic symphony of hope and solidarity in the face of the ‘vanishing meaning’ of our time, speaking eloquently with ‘the lip of tomorrow.’" The Guardian

Joey G , January 21, 2021
I was thrilled to see this hard copy book - “The Hill We Climb,” poems coming out soon - Ms. Amanda Gorman is a very talented young lady that not only won the heart of my wife and I (but the “heart & soul “ ) of every American that watched her recite it at the inauguration of the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden, this debut collection of the same name reveals an energizing and unforgettable new voice in America poetry. My only regret is not I only wish I could get Ms. Gorman to autograph the book so I could pass it on to my young granddaughter! GOD BLESS - Amanda Gorman your a blessing to our country!
