Living in Alaska, I hadn’t planned on watching the inauguration live. With a four-hour time difference from EST and my usual aversion to early mornings, I figured I’d catch up later, especially since I was concerned about potential unrest. However, fate had other plans when my dog fell ill, prompting me to awaken and watch the ceremony in the dark, feeling a sense of relief for the first time in four years.
Soon, my daughter joined me in bed, drawn in by the sounds from the TV. Moments later, Amanda Gorman, the National Youth Poet Laureate, graced the stage. Witnessing that performance live with my 7-year-old daughter was a truly unforgettable experience. As an Indigenous child, seeing a woman of color sworn in as Vice President was significant for her, but Gorman’s eloquence and presence were simply enchanting. We both had tears of joy as we listened, and when she finished, my daughter exclaimed, “Mom, I have goosebumps!”
It’s safe to say we’re now huge fans of Amanda Gorman. Millions across the country felt the same way, captivated by her performance. At just 22, she completely stole the spotlight. However, many may not realize how they can continue to support her now that the inauguration has passed. Luckily, Amanda Gorman has two new books set to release later this year, which you can pre-order to show your appreciation.
As an author, I know that pre-orders are crucial for measuring an author’s success in the eyes of agents and publishers. Gorman herself shared on Twitter that her books quickly reached the #1 and #2 spots in Amazon sales—a remarkable achievement for someone so young with a bright future ahead.
If you haven’t done so yet, join the movement and help uplift Gorman by ordering her upcoming books. “Change Sings: A Children’s Anthem” is a lyrical children’s book my daughter can’t wait to get her hands on, while “The Hill We Climb: Poems” is a collection of her poetry, including the piece she performed at the inauguration. Both titles will be available on September 21st, which may seem far off, but in the meantime, you can follow Gorman’s journey on social media (both @TheAmandaGorman).
This young woman has the potential to change the world with her words, and I, for one, am excited to see her do just that. For further insights into topics like pregnancy and home insemination, check out this other blog post, and for expert information, visit this authority on home insemination.
