Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman

dark emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

4.5

This is a great collection of poems from a very promising poet.  Personally I didn't enjoy the collection as much as I thought I would, because many were about Covid, and in some ways those poems felt a little cliche at times.  But my personal mood aside, the poems were not only well written but interesting in formatting choices as well.  I think the most jarring part was reading the poem from the inauguration and knowing in hindsight how much worse everything has since gotten.
