Amanda Gorman speaks with Oprah Winfrey on TV+
Who can forget poet Amanda Gorman’s inspiring words during the last presidential inauguration. Those words resonated across the planet, and now she will speak with Oprah Winfrey on Apple TV+.
‘The Hill We Climb’
“Amanda Gorman is a young woman who stepped into a moment in history with enormous grace and dignity,” said Oprah Winfrey. “I was enthralled by her youthful spirit from the first moment we met, and very much looked forward to hearing her unpack all that has happened to her the past few months.”
Named the first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate, the youngest inaugural poet in US history, and one of the most influential voices of her generation, Gorman discusses “The Hill We Climb,” the moving poem she delivered at the historic inauguration of President Joseph R. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
The two women will discuss legendary literary heroes who inspire Gorman’s work, her mother and others who have guided her toward poetry.
The poet will also discuss how she crafted the poem that captivated the world. As she reflects on the impact of her work, she looks ahead to share her hopes for the future, both personally and for the nation.
