American Poet Amanda Gorman releases new work
Poet Amanda Gorman has released a new work, just in time for the year's end. And like her most famous poem, "The Hill We Climb," her latest aims to uplift its listeners during a challenging time.

News Story Summary:

Gorman, the 23-year-old who recited the aforementioned poem at President Joe Biden's inauguration, partnered with Instagram on her new composition, "New Day's Lyric."

She said she wrote the poem to "celebrate the new year and honor the hurt & the humanity of the last one."

Instagram shared a video of Gorman reciting the poem inside an empty theater.

"This hope is our door, our portal," Gorman recited in the first minute of the two-and-a-half minute composition. "Even if we never get back to normal, someday we can venture beyond it, to leave the known and take the first steps. So let us not return to what was normal, but reach toward what is next."

To "pay [her] words forward," Gorman said in an Instagram post that she's raising funds for the International Rescue Committee, an organization that aids people affected by humanitarian crises, including the Covid-19 pandemic.

In an interview with Vanity Fair ahead of the poem's release, Gorman said her newest poem was partly inspired by the stories of grief and perseverance she's seen shared on social media, so it was fitting, she said, that she published it on such a platform, too.

Earlier in December, Gorman -- who became the first national youth poet laureate in 2017 -- published the poetry collection "Call Us What We Carry," which has appeared on the New York Times Best Sellers list for two weeks.

And after her star turn at the inauguration in January, she wrote and performed a poem for the Super Bowl the following month, titled "Chorus of the Captains."
