Forget Bernie. Poet Amanda Gorman is the new meme queen

Advertisement As the memes would have it, she’s poised for world domination. And it’s going to be a hot one. The images, several of which originated on Reddit, included Gorman in her sunny Prada coat hugging Sanders, and countless variations conflating the two memorable visuals from this week. She’s also sitting on top of the world, disguised as “Watchmen’s” Sister Knight, hanging out with William Shakespeare and her idol Maya Angelou, lunching atop a skyscraper, sitting on the Iron Throne, twinning with Dick Tracy and Ronald McDonald, as well belittling former President Trump. Gorman is riding high from her breakthrough poetry reading at President Biden’s inauguration Wednesday. The youth poet is leaving those who interview her transfixed, making friends in high places, getting job offers and gaining a devoted following on social media (including nearly 3 million on Instagram).
