For many, the highlight of Wednesday’s inauguration ceremony was Amanda Gorman’s stirring poem, “The Hill We Climb.” Gorman, the National Youth Poet Laureate, performed a poem that was both stirring and sincere one that “set the tone for the hopeful future our nation desperately needs,” as Deseret News opinion writer Aubrey Eyre said.
I spoke with Utah Poet Laureate Paisley Rekdal the day following the inauguration. Rekdal, a professor of English at the University of Utah, was named the state’s poet laureate in 2017. Now entering the final year of her term, she’s launched a number of statewide projects, including Mapping Literary Utah, an online hub for work from Utah poets, fiction writers and performers.
