This book does NOT include the inaugural poem!
Derived From Web , Jan 3, 2022
The book contained a poem that was read at the inauguration. It does not! I'm very disappointed.

A beautiful book from a brilliant woman
Derived From Web , Dec 9, 2021
I wanted to be one of the first people to get a book because I ordered it on inauguration day. I am happy to finally have a copy! Ms. Gorman's poems are moving and beautiful. In my photo, she arranges them in unconventional shapes. I attached the photo because another reviewer mentioned the typeset was small, but I disagree. The hard cover book is very nice. The book would be a great gift for a poetry lover. Excellent recommendation.

This is brilliant. She uses words like a mathematician. She's had me both gasping and grinning because of her ability to see and just 53 pages. This is a book for people who are still alive today.

What A Book!
Derived From Web , Dec 7, 2021
I got this book a day early. Thank you, Amazon! I've been in it for the entire day. Let it wash over me. It isn't easy to read, but it's not meant to be. The collection is beautiful. The Hill We Climb is here, as a conclusion of sorts, so I won't say anything about it. This book is more than the poem you've already heard. I feel like I'm gushing. I am! Milk And Honey and What Death Taught Terrence are both good books to read if you enjoy poetry and reading beautiful poems.
