Amanda Gorman reads her inauguration poem, ‘The Hill We Climb’
“There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

Hallelujah! A better day is coming!
So moving. Amanda Gorman and her words show this generation is paving the way forward for a better future.
She is so very promising and inspiring! Thank you for posting – well worth watching many times!
So many lines of hope and unity.
We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
Thank you for sharing. There is much to admire in this carefully crafted and brilliantly delivered poem. Amanda Gorman personifies the power of poetry to connect, to heal, to transform. I am proud that the Sarah Mook Poetry Contest serves to encourage and support the efforts of young poets. I am so grateful to Sarah’s teachers at BFS (Olwen, Judy, Nancy, Joe, and parent volunteer Katherine Falk) for Sarah’s gift of poetry. http://www.sarahmookpoetrycontest.com/
