Amanda Gorman: Pure Genius

I don’t generally like poetry; I like poetic language. Not rhyming exactly, but cadence, flow and rhythm are like catnip for my brain. Lin-Manuel Miranda does it effortlessly, and apparently so does Amanda Gorman, the US National Youth Poet Laureate. Her poem from Joe Biden’s inauguration pushed every button I ever need pushed, all at once.

I mean…wow. Just wow.
