Description
Amanda Gorman's debut poetry collection, Call Us What We Carry, is a powerful exploration of history, language, identity, and erasure. This luminous collection harnesses the collective grief of a global pandemic to reveal a moment of reckoning and offer hope for healing. Through seventy poems, Gorman captures a shipwrecked moment in time, transforming it into a lyric of hope and healing. Her poetry is a call to action, speaking truth to power and embodying clear-eyed hope to a weary nation. This collection is a testament to the enduring power of poetry to shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. With its intimate and imaginative collage, Call Us What We Carry shines a light on the complexities of our shared human experience.
