Nella Coiro: I love this book! This is a beautiful book written by Amanda Gorman. For a very young woman she has an incredible amount of insight and wisdom. Each poem is eloquently written and deeply touching. My favorite poem is called “The hill we climb.” She wrote another poem that I particularly like which talks about our experiences during the pandemic. All of the poems in this book are just beautiful.

Dr. Bill: Buy a few extra copies and donate them to your local (school) library. The book banners are after this book
and (we) need to do all we can to keep Amanda's voice heard. This is a significant book in American history.

DA: Not an active poetry reader, I’m glad I bought this book. Powerful, stirring, compelling poems. A wonderful and insightful mind.

Barbara C.: Author of CALL US WHAT WE CARRY, is by Amanda Gorman, the young poet made famous by THE HILL WE CLIMB at President Biden's 2020 Inauguration. In her collection of poems, she gradually reveals an entire array of events and emotions of Black experience from before the horrible slave ship journeys to life today. The book should be read slowly, poem by poem, to give time for reflection and the reader's imagination about these recovered lives.

Pa Pa Mo Mo: This book is like a breath of fresh air. It had the same impact on me as James Baldwin's writing. Gorman's use of free verse, her personal tone, and her rhythmic, playful language has all the energy of youth. Her poems connect to contemporary forms of performance poetry. I look forward to see how she develops as a writer.

Karts: Dieser Gedichtband ist rundum genial. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass eine Übersetzung den Inhalt dieses Buches nur annähernd so wiedergeben kann. Meines Erachtens sollte es eine Pflichtlektüre im Englisch Unterricht werden. Das eine so junge Frau ein solches Sprachgefühl und eine solche Intensität ausdrücken kann ist für mich mehr als beeindruckend.

Thomas A. Goff: No one who saw President Joe Biden’s inauguration last January will forget inaugural poet Amanda Gorman. Striding confidently to the microphone at the U.S. Capitol, dressed in bright Prada yellow against the cold, her upswept hairdo crowned by a bold red headband, Gorman recited her poem “The Hill We Climb” with forthright diction and musicality. That musicality was accompanied by eloquent gestures, her hands keeping a steady beat yet adding varied emphases or sculptural air-arcs to underscore her poetic points and phrases.
Now Gorman, only the third Black inaugural speaker (after Maya Angelou and Elizabeth Alexander), has published her third best-selling book: first was a handsomely presented copy of “The Hill We Climb,” the second her uplifting children’s book Change Sings (with illustrator Loren Long). Call Us What We Carry is actually her second full collection, after 2015’s The One for Whom Food Is Not Enough. Quite a remarkable resume for a Harvard graduate (with honors), still only twenty-three years old, who’s already served as a National Youth Poet Laureate. While raised in Southern California by a single mother, Joan Wicks, Gorman has a Sacramento...
