The Hill We Climb text: Read full Amanda Gorman poem here

READ: Full text of The Hill We Climb from Amanda Gorman, the inaugural poet The nation s first National Youth Poet Laureate joined the ranks of inaugural poets like Robert Frost and Maya Angelou. Author: Jordan Fischer, Kyley Schultz (WUSA 9) Published: 12:43 PM CST January 20, 2021 Updated: 7:15 PM CST January 21, 2021 WASHINGTON Amanda Gorman became only the sixth inaugural poet in history,  and the youngest ever, on Wednesday when she read her poem “The Hill We Climb” after the swearing-in of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Gorman’s poem – written at least partially in the aftermath of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6 – weaves the soaring language typical of inaugural poems past with sharp, syncopated lines about events from just days ago.

A president for all Americans

After all the twists and turns following the November 3 presidential elections which Joe Biden won clearly with 306 electoral college votes and over 7 million popular votes, January 20, 2021 was going to be a special and historic day in America. And that was exactly what happened when Biden and Kamala Harris were inaugurated as President and Vice President respectively. Advertisement As the sun set on the chaotic Donald Trump presidency, it was a new dawn for all Americans and the rest of the world as images of the inauguration were beamed across TV networks. “I will be president for all Americans,” Biden declared on the heavily secured hallowed grounds of Capitol Hill as he delivered perhaps his most important speech yet as the 46th president of the United States of America. This is the same Capitol that was desecrated by a ravaging mob of domestic terrorists two weeks earlier over ridiculous claims of a “stolen” election.
