Readers react to Amanda Gorman post

From Diane Flaherty:

You can find Amanda’s interview with Anderson Cooper on YouTube.  It’s delightful.  We’ve been reading and re-watching her recite “The Hill We Climb” and the words are so powerful. The Scripture she quotes “everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid” comes from the Old Testament book of Micah.

From Cindy Perry:

Listening to Amanda Gorman was like watching the sunrise after a long dark winter. Her inspirational words lifted listeners like me, reminding us of the natural goodness in this world, of our obligation to leave it better for those who follow.

Thanks to your post I’ve preordered Change Sings and am anxiously awaiting my September surprise.

From Becki McSwain:

Thank you so much for starting this! Amanda did an interview a few days before the inauguration, and all I could think about was “are you sure she’s just 22? So wise, so poised, so young.” Just incredible. I hope to follow her as she takes off into her life’s universe and shares her art with us.
