AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING。I loved this poem from the moment I heard it。 I think we need to hear from Amanda Gorman more often! Beautiful poetry and the ebb and flow of her words is simply phenomenal。 Beautiful use of rhyme。 Genius。 I think I'll get this poem printed and put it in my house。 I simply adore it and cannot wait for Amanda's poetry book to come out later this year!

Amanda Gorman is going down in history and she deserves to do so。 Her Poem is as beautiful and accessible as it is inspiring。I don't usually read poetry but I feel like she deserves a lot if credit for what she has achieved and I personally really liked reading this。 Amanda Gorman is going down in history and she deserves to do so。 Her Poem is as beautiful and accessible as it is inspiring。I don't usually read poetry but I feel like she deserves a lot if credit for what she has achieved and I personally really liked reading this。 。。。more

It's too easy to find news every day that is disheartening。 States are eroding voting rights and women's rights, acts of racial and ethnic discrimination are constantly being committed, and people are being shot on a daily basis, just to name a few。 But I know that I can pull this book off the shelf and always return to this poem's inspirational words。 And once again, even if just temporarily, I am reminded of the hope of what we can have and why we have to keep fighting and pushing for action。 It's too easy to find news every day that is disheartening。 States are eroding voting rights and women's rights, acts of racial and ethnic discrimination are constantly being committed, and people are being shot on a daily basis, just to name a few。 But I know that I can pull this book off the shelf and always return to this poem's inspirational words。 And once again, even if just temporarily, I am reminded of the hope of what we can have and why we have to keep fighting and pushing for action。 。。。more

Luin ja kuuntelin tämän teoksen。 En ihastunut siihen yhtä paljon kuin amerikkalaiset。 Se oli varsin tavanomainen ja jopa tylsä kirjallinen teos。 Ehkä se on parempi englanniksi, näin luulen。 Ehkä käännöstyö on syönyt osan nuoresta energiasta。 Myös Oprahin alkutekstin ohitin saamatta siitä mitään erityisen hyviä tuntemuksia。 Kirjoitus tuntui olevan täynnä korumaisia juhlapuheita, joiden oli tarkoitus liehutella Amerikan lippua。 Sitä arvostan, että juuri tämä henkilö on avajaisiin haluttu ja ymmärr Luin ja kuuntelin tämän teoksen。 En ihastunut siihen yhtä paljon kuin amerikkalaiset。 Se oli varsin tavanomainen ja jopa tylsä kirjallinen teos。 Ehkä se on parempi englanniksi, näin luulen。 Ehkä käännöstyö on syönyt osan nuoresta energiasta。 Myös Oprahin alkutekstin ohitin saamatta siitä mitään erityisen hyviä tuntemuksia。 Kirjoitus tuntui olevan täynnä korumaisia juhlapuheita, joiden oli tarkoitus liehutella Amerikan lippua。 Sitä arvostan, että juuri tämä henkilö on avajaisiin haluttu ja ymmärrän, että avajaisteksti ei voikaan olla mitenkään kapinallista, mitä otetta rasismin vastaisuuden pitää olla。 。。。more

I don't think I need to tell you what the book is about; if you want to read this book, you most likely saw Gorman perform this live or watched it multiple times on YouTube。I do need to tell you to buy this book for your libraries。 Because the message is timeless。 And there will be times you need to remember these words。Recommended for everyone。 I don't think I need to tell you what the book is about; if you want to read this book, you most likely saw Gorman perform this live or watched it multiple times on YouTube。I do need to tell you to buy this book for your libraries。 Because the message is timeless。 And there will be times you need to remember these words。Recommended for everyone。 。。。more

Watching this live at the Inaugural ceremony of President Biden was such an amazing experience, so I had to pick a copy up myself。 It’s such a brilliant piece of art。

Beautiful to hear it read out loud and beautiful to read it yourself 💛

This was a GREAT book。 I think everyone needs to read it。 Don't skim over it, or read to fast。 I heard her recite it on Jan。 20, 2021, but I got more out of the book when I read it。 I checked it out yesterday evening, and I read it twice when I got home。 If it was up to me, this book would be required reading in high school。 I'm looking forward to whatever this young lady comes up with in the future。 This was a GREAT book。 I think everyone needs to read it。 Don't skim over it, or read to fast。 I heard her recite it on Jan。 20, 2021, but I got more out of the book when I read it。 I checked it out yesterday evening, and I read it twice when I got home。 If it was up to me, this book would be required reading in high school。 I'm looking forward to whatever this young lady comes up with in the future。 。。。more

I hear the words of Amanda Gorman at the Inauguration resounding in this beautiful poem。 One I will read over and over again。 Such wonderful words, meaning and significance。 A must read for everyone。 Thank you Amanda Gorman for giving us this beautiful piece。

I loved The Hill We Climb。 It was emotional and inspiring。 A must read!

Ville Verkkapuro

A beautiful "book" in many ways。A momentum between covers。 Very American。 This was a stub and it's pretty obvious that it left me wanting for more。 That's a good thing for the poet。 I hope the money from the sales of this "book" goes to her instead of the (Finnish) publisher。The translation was very good and I hope more of this。 Poetry is a "trend" that I hope will have a long run。 Very hard to review。 Kudos to the writer。 Waiting for the next line。 A beautiful "book" in many ways。A momentum between covers。 Very American。 This was a stub and it's pretty obvious that it left me wanting for more。 That's a good thing for the poet。 I hope the money from the sales of this "book" goes to her instead of the (Finnish) publisher。The translation was very good and I hope more of this。 Poetry is a "trend" that I hope will have a long run。 Very hard to review。 Kudos to the writer。 Waiting for the next line。 。。。more

“If we merge mercy with might, and might with right, Then love becomes our legacy, And change, our children’s birthright。” This yellow cover design brings me up the memory of watching Amanda Gorman’s recital during the presidential inauguration。 Messages full of hope were being delivered in a vivid and energetic scene。 It’s a nice feeling to have a physical copy of poem, which brings you a joyful memory, and keep it in the bookshelf!

Ms Gorman isn't just an amazing young African-American woman。。。 she is an amazing person, full stop。 Listen to her read this poem, *and* read the words on the page, for the full impact, the complete experience。 Ms Gorman isn't just an amazing young African-American woman。。。 she is an amazing person, full stop。 Listen to her read this poem, *and* read the words on the page, for the full impact, the complete experience。 。。。more

Poetry is meant to make you feel, and this certainly does the job。 I didn't watch a lot of the inauguration because I was at work, but I did manage to catch this。 And it eloquently captures the best part of the day - the hope。 Poetry is meant to make you feel, and this certainly does the job。 I didn't watch a lot of the inauguration because I was at work, but I did manage to catch this。 And it eloquently captures the best part of the day - the hope。 。。。more

This was the 9 minute audiobook version from my library that I listened to at least once a day over the course of a week。 Amanda Gorman is the gift we have yet to earn。 🖤“For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it。”

Paige Pell

What an inspiration。 Proud to have this book on my shelf to be able to return to her words regularly。

Still gives me chills!
