Praise for “The Hill We Climb”

“Gorman’s thoughtfulness and activist spirit shine through on every page.”

“Gorman doesn’t merely transcribe a diary of a plague year; her bold, oracular pronouncements bear witness to collective experience, with an uncanny confidence and a prescient tone that are all the poet’s own.”

— New Yorker

“Amanda Gorman . . . reckons with America's present, particularly with the pandemic. Through the lens of the country's history, she shows us the path toward healing.”

— NPR
