In the concluding sections, the poet asks that “we,” American citizens and anyone listening to her read, be brave enough to “see” and “be” the light/hope that’s coming.
She seeks to inspire hope in those listening that a better day is dawning and that better times are ahead. Her image of the country is not one that’s defeated or failed, but one that’s still on its way to being what its rhetoric already suggests it is.
‘The Hill We Climb’ by Amanda Gorman was written for President Joe Biden’s inauguration and speaks about the future of America.įrom the beginning to the end of the poem, Gorman uses images of light and darkness, hope and fear, to describe the two opposing sides of America, those who want to divide and those who want to unify.
