Never seen a Poet like her...what a performance. I used to think Poem is a boring thing, until she brings it to life and expressive and make it connected to the current living.
Love this girl. She is terrific. Poetry is no longer a dying art. After that beautiful inaugural performance, I bet she has already ignited the interest and imagination of many to read and write poetry.
I just listened to this young woman present the inaugural poem and I am in tears. What an amazing and heartfelt presentation! I feel lucky to have heard that poem.
I can’t imagine all the kids she inspired and grown ppl like me, The everyday girl, with dreams, hard work, overcoming speech impediment she’s an artist, so talented... her delivery of words and passion stole the inauguration. I always wanted to be a writer/poet I wish I got to see her at a young age respect ✊
Wow!! Amazing words!!! Amazing Delivery!!! Amazing presentation!! Amazing/Beautiful/Brilliant young lady representing!! Standing ovation is well deserved here.
Just saw Amanda Gorman on Some Good News, and had to find more of her work. Can we make this poem our national independence day poem? Dang, this woman is inspirational!!!
If she is joining the orchestra at the July 4th celebration in D.C. then this will be the highlight of the celebration. This poem should speak to the hearts of ALL AMERICANS.
I’m shocked at how GONE her speech issue is!?!? My 11yr old also struggles with the “R”....and I went through and listened to Amanda’s old poems to her new and the change in how she can use the R is amazing. I wish she would share what her therapist did or what SHE did if she did it on her own
I watch you Amanda, tear up and believe that there is still hope for our future. Not just Americans but all around the world. Individually and collectively, everyday, we write the future. Wow!
Amanda was chosen long time before all, to speak truth, to speak wisdom and love for all, to unite now with all might in the one spirit ,again, as the Fathers thought right. A black skinny girl born of slavery to bring all a new freedom of spirit, a lifting from white hate and fear to allow to break through incrusted dominion . The gift of dwelling in her words at this time, when we witnessed rebellion, that broke out to distroy the call of freedom and liberty of 245 and many years, we see the truth that only love one another will challenge all old and rusty upbringing. Amanda has sowed a seed in all as did the Fathers when chosing the words for this countries constitution, she - touches those words of the Fathers and makes them shine and glimmer and glow in our hearts and make them fly . Nothing is finished, this the beginning, of a new challenge to dismantle what thrives on inegality and hatred and killing.
The way she conducts her moves along with the words, give wings to her poems and reach us all graciously. She wears her body as a free road of meaningful feelings; collective experiences that give us a place in her voice - which is our voice at that very moment as well - and place us, as Americans, in the top of an invisible podium in which we feel winners, already! I'm so glad Amanda exists and her poems are alive ! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Amanda Gorman absolutely brilliant 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👑poet laureate well deserved just beautiful inspirational , talent , ‘Everyday we right the future’ ❤️🇺🇸Maya Angelou would be so proud Happy 4 July all when it comes 🎉

'Believer's Hymn for the Republic' --by Amanda Gorman, inaugural National Youth Poet Laureate of the United States 12 score and 3 years ago, to be exact, Our founders dared to declare The world's most revolutionary act: A pact sworn for liberty and equality. Out of many, was born one people; A teeming nation made of nations, At its very foundation a dream For life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Today, we gather so that our Founders' words do not go diminished. But also so that the work does not go unfinished. For it's not just in a declaration of independence But the everyday declaration of its descendants That make a people equal. It is our right and our role To remember these words scratched on a scroll, So we may live them and heal our nation whole. We roll up our sleeves, we believe in the dream, And these American stories, in the glory of the struggle, For it is from our struggle that comes our nation's strength, For the lengths that we fight for what is right Is the fullest measure of our country's might. And while we cannot shake or cast aside our past, Every day we write the future. Together we sign it, Together we declare it, we share it, For this truth marches on inside each of us: Americans know one another by our love of liberty. When in fact, we are liberated by our love for one another. We understand that a house divided cannot stand. So let us make a pact to be the country that acts As compassionate as we are courageous. In the declaration's pages, we write a new order for the ages, Where out of many, we are one, Bright as a sun, and bold as an eagle, A nation of all people, by all people, For all people. Let this fourth of July Move forth our cry to redeem the dream. As we remember those words forever ignited That we the people have so long heard and recited. That we are right to stand But are revolutionary when we stand united.

Clear, unforced diction, yet profound!
Eu agradeço pela atenção de vocês okok...uma boa noite 🙏🏻🙏🙏🕊️🙏
