(ForEveryMom) Joe Biden may have become our newest president at Wednesday’s inauguration ceremony, but 22-year-old Amanda Gorman exquisitely stole the show with authority, elegance, and sheer class.
The youngest known inaugural poet took the stage to recite a new work titled, “The Hill We Climb,” which she wrote in response to the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
“In my poem, I’m not going to in any way gloss over what we’ve seen over the past few weeks and, dare I say, the past few years,” Gorman said in an interview with the New York Times. “But what I really aspire to do in the poem is to be able to use my words to envision a way in which our country can still come together and can still heal.”
