I read a lot, and I read many types of books—fiction, nonfiction, classics, short stories, and essays. Rarely do I read poetry. Even though it's more than four years later, I still am haunted by the beautiful, evocative words of poet Amanda Gorman when she stood on the west front of the U.S. Capitol reading her poem "The Hill We Climb." She was only 22, and she took my breath away. So I read this book of poetry, which includes that extraordinary piece.
