In Amazement: Amanda Gorman & THAT Inauguration Poem – A Virtual Two-Part Series by Barb Jennes
How does a 22-year was raised by a single mother in Watts and who struggled to overcome a serious speech impediment end up on center stage at President Joe Biden’s Inauguration?
With POETRY – a genre embraced for its ability to heal. Join Ridgefield Poet Laureate Barb Jennes for a two-part presentation in which we’ll look closely at Ms. Gorman’s breathtaking inauguration poem, “The Hill We Climb,” as well as at two of her other stunning spoken-word pieces. We’ll watch clips from interviews with the U.S. Youth Poet Laureate in which she discusses the hills she’s climbed in her rise to fame. Please join us as we celebrate this remarkable young poet and her amazing poetic gift.
