    I was deeply moved when I heard Amanda Gorman share her brilliant poem at the inauguration of Joe Biden. Like everyone else I immediately googled her and was fascinated by her story. Now after reading the poem months later, I’m still in awe. Her gift with words inspires, engages, provokes, and demands an ever evolving society. I intend to make the climb. Bravo, Ms Gorman!!!!
