I can’t appreciate her because she is a terrible poet. Eighth grade vocabulary cards clumsily stitched together in a hideous Frankenstein’s monster to make deeply boring CNN talking points.
@@SchnabelMcSchnabel I think it was cleverly ambiguous. The arena they are in is “hollowed” out but she was alluding to hallowed. She is smart enough to know what she is doing.
Ms. Gorman is a brilliant American treasure. She encapsulates her thoughts and our feelings so succinctly it always brings me to tears. I feel blessed to hear her poetry in her voice each time!
@@bthanb1223 As I wrote elsewhere, I think she was doing word play which is a big part of her poetic style. The convention center is literally a “hollowed” space but she is also alluding to the prospect of making it Hallowed by what will happen there. She is very brilliant, this was intentional on her part. Maybe you don’t like the line but it is not because she doesn’t know the difference in meaning and pronunciation.
I just realized why I wanted to buy Amanda Gorman's book her poems are just stunning and clear. Such a beautiful poem for today to lift us up in a stronger way. Thank you Amanda Gorman
I have read at least 2 comments in which people think she mispronounced hallowed as “hollowed”. But you are not giving her the credit she deserves. Of course she knows these words. My interpretation is that she said the place was “hollowed” as a description of the literal “hollowed” out structure of the convention center. But she is invoking the hope that the ground will become “hallowed” by what will take place there.
This woman is incredible… limitless talent. And when the book of her poetry made a hit list of book banners, it made me realize that she’d properly angered the right people, but still inspired even more.
America: You are blessed to have a Poet Laureate; you are blessed to have that home-grown treasure that is Amanda Gorman as your Poet Laureate; but recall, you only have this treasure that whispers the tenants of hope from your soul because you are still a democracy; so let's keep it all that way, shall we? We don't want to loose these things; So Vote!
You cried? Are you that easily moved by empty platitudes recited with dramatic pauses? That was not and this is not poetry. No rhymes, metaphors. Nothing thought provoking, just a bunch of clichés. Some of you are the reason she thinks she is a great poet.
I don't blame you made me want to cry too Cry about how much it sucks I mean nice sentiment but come-on you could find the equivalent or better in any highschool in the country it's just rap style with randomly placed occasional rhymes and big words, not actually poetry or anything remotely deep or skillful
She uses assonance so creatively . It sounds simple but is really quite profound. I am so grateful for her incredible writing talent and also for her ability to perform her poems. We are witnessing a legend in her youth.
She's such a wonderful and inspiring young woman, I could listen to her all day long and never get tired, it's not just the words, it's the passion in her delivery. ❤❤❤
Beautiful the way she spoke about America and the ideals that the founding fathers had. It hasn’t been realized yet. We, as Americans must help make it happen in our time. Something positive that we ALL need to hear right now.
I contemplate she just penned a bunch of paraphernalia that didn’t seem sensible and then did myriad synonym expression surrogates with a word processor to make it sound clever.
Even just people respecting each other and respecting different countries, beliefs, cultures, etc would be a great start. This is the foundation for mutual understanding. Out of that, love can break through the cracks and find some people, who are paying attention.
" May we think of Freedom. Not as the right to do as we please.
But the opportunity to do what is right"
Terrible. It's meaningless. Who says what is 'right'? You? Me? Or a talentless 'poet'?
I think she is an amazing inspiration for the youth of America. ❤
Who can’t appreciate this amazing poet. She scoops in everyone with her poem, her voice, and her sincere presence.

She lost me at "hollowed place". Did she mean hallowed?

@@cz2165What sacred thing happened to make a political rally “hallowed”
I was frustrated that Amanda was not at the DNC24! Now things feel in harmony, she needed to bridge the divide between the past and the future.
She is as beautiful as her message.
Wow. I'm so profoundly happy that this generation has so many beautiful voices creating, speaking and singing our joyful humanity.
this aint one of em smoochie.
Wonderful! Let us be worthy of it, our American dream.
Ms. Gorman never fails to give me hope for the future. What an inspiring voice.

she's good but this poem was not good
She is an inspiration and a beautiful woman, Maya Angelo would be so proud of her ❤❤❤❤❤
Amanda is so talented and her poem was perfect 🤩 🤩💙💙
Wow! What a beautiful, confident, smart young woman! Bravo! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
"Cohering is the hardest task history ever wrote."
Amanda is wonderful
So smart, so profound, so inspiring, so true ...
So smart? She said hollowed ground when the word she meant was hallowed. LOL.

Its sad when I child has a better perspective than most adults in this world!
I think she's older than she looks.
At only 26 years of age, she's wise beyond her years. She's a bright and talented young woman. Thank you, Amanda.
It was actually a bunch of nonsense. Proof that our education system is handing out participation trophies.
She said hollowed instead of hallowed at the start...the latter would've made sense. Not a great start 😅
She’s an old soul! Wise beyond her years! We would be wise to pay attention to her words!

Well done and inspiring. Her poem and performance at Biden's inauguration was amazing and unparalleled.
Brilliant ❤
She impressed me at Biden’s inauguration and she impressed me again now. What a wonderful young woman🙏🏻🫶🏻🇳🇱
Our beautiful poet laureate has grown nicely since the inauguration. I am delighted to see her again!
How would you rate your own knowledge of poetry?
It was horrible, she was horrible and the DNC are horrible
I hope she returns for Kamala Harris’ inauguration!
@@jackiehuetter2083 Agreed. She is a breath of fresh air.😇
I dearly hope to still be alive when Ms. Gorman decides to make her run for President so that I can cast my vote for her.

She is a power house
Her words are as beautiful as she. Wow I somehow missed this last week.

Lincoln should have said 87 years instead of 4 score 7 yrs ago. It provoke thought instead of saying the obvious
Good to see our special poet after so long!!!👏👏👏👏👏😇🤩
This young lady possesses a beautiful voice. I think she will do great things in the name of the USA👏👍🔥✌️

Thanks for being a human with a brain and commenting here so I don't feel like I'm all alone here losing my mind with all these fawning comments.
What an eloquent beauty.
America and Laureate the Beautiful!

This is how a poet should be treated ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this woman's talent.
Wow that was amazing !!
You're having a laugh . . . .
Such beauty, grace and intelligence 🤩
She IS the american dream.

How does a poet dress?.. I have just the outfit for you. She is wonderful!

Thank you Amanda G, your words ring true! Vote Blue uphold Democracy 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🙏

She is so spectacular! 🇺🇸
What a great speech. Kindest regards from the Netherlands.

It is always nice and impressing listening to her play with language. She is setting the standard not for speaking, but for listening better.👍🏻
This made me cry
Brilliant young woman!❤❤❤
Ms. Gorman, you an EXCELLENT POET
She's awful.
OMG. She is sooooo brilliant!!!!
Beautiful angel
What a beautiful vocabulary Ms Gorman possesses and how powerfully she uses it. Much respect.
She used some words literally incorrectly.
I can hear and feel the spirit of MLK shining and blazing through her. God bless you, Amanda 🙌🏾
Nailed it AGAIN! BEAUTIFUL❤
Girl!!!! That’s how you do it!!! Charged up🔋 Yassss!!! 🔥⛈️🌦️
I never thought poetry could be so beautiful and inspiring in a modern day political scene. What a beautiful voice and orator.
Even just people respecting each other and respecting different countries, beliefs, cultures, etc would be a great start. This is the foundation for mutual understanding.
Out of that, love can break through the cracks and find some people, who are paying attention.
Speech? No, that was a poem, and a beautiful one at that!
Her words are deep and reflecting... it stays and echoes in your every fiber until....
Beautiful.🇺🇸💪🏻💓💓💓💓💓🌞🌞🌞
Wow! How long did that take for her to write? It's great!
It was beautiful!!
Hollowed or Hallowed??
Incredible orator. Incredibly inspiring Message. ✌️🖤
