Order of Amanda Gorman Books

Amanda Gorman stands as one of America's most compelling contemporary poets and authors, with multiple bestsellers gracing both the New York Times and USA Today lists. She holds the historic distinction of being the nation's first Youth Poet Laureate, a role that positioned her perfectly for her most memorable public moment: delivering "The Hill We Climb" at President Joe Biden's 2021 inauguration ceremony, where she became the youngest poet ever to receive this prestigious honor.

Through her powerful verse, Gorman tackles some of society's most pressing themes, weaving together explorations of oppression, feminism, race, and marginalization while giving voice to the experiences of African Americans. Her literary journey as a published author began in 2021 with the release of "The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country," marking her entry into the publishing world with the very poem that captivated millions of viewers during the historic inauguration.
