Ein Buch unseres American Shelf. Englischsprachig.

Diese Gedichte erzählen von Verlust und Schmerz, Dunkelheit und Angst, von Hoffnung, Vergebung und Mut.

In ihrer Danksagung schreibt Amanda Gorman: I am a daughter of Black writers. I am descended from freedom fighters who broke their chains and changed the world. They call me. I carry them always.

Eines ihrer Dedichte:

Every Day We Are Learning

Every day we are learning

How to live with essence, not with ease.

How to move with haste, never hate.

How to leave this pain that is beyond us

Behind us.

Just like a skill or any art.

We cannot possess hope without practicing it.

It ist the most fundamental craft we demand of ourselves.

Persönlicher Eindruck: inspirierend, mutgebend, zeitlos am Puls der Zeit, Schönheit zwischen Zeilen.
