I’m excited to have this poet’s powerful words in book form. It’s a simple book of a few lines on each blank white page. The cover has some sticky glue-like smears on both the front and back, which are the reason for 4 stars versus 5.

I'm writing just to alert Amazon that the two copies I received today came with very dusty covers. Both sides of both books -- covered in dirt. I was able to wipe off some of the dirt with a damp paper towel and will still give them as gifts. I guess it's a warehouse issue. Just a heads up.

There have been challenges we have faced, but where we are now reminds us of what we can do and overcome. Amanda Gorman's poem THE HILL WE CLIMB reminds us of what we have been able to do and what is possible. Delivered in a way that is reflective as well as forward looking, we can see that together there are still great things to achieve---if we allow ourselves to do so. This is the type of message we should remind ourselves of daily. Our best days are not behind us. There is a chance for us to be greater. It all begins with the decision to make it happen.

I absolutely love the inaugural poem, and I love what I know of Ms. Goerman. However, this is just a book with a few lines of her amazing poem on each page. That is it. Nothing else. I really thought there would be something added to enhance it as a book - illustrations, photos of her speaking, more history on her, people's reactions to her, anything at all. If you just wanted a printed book of the poem - this is perfect. If you were hoping for something a little more, you might be just as happy printing off the poem at home.
