Poetry for Beginners
Published by Ashly Moore Sheldon • November 15, 2021
Amanda Gorman stole the show last January when she shared her poem The Hill We Climb. Her evocative, energizing voice offered a fresh, accessible take on what many consider to be an esoteric, staid genre. Her new book, Call Us What We Carry, comes out on December 7 and here we spotlight fifteen other poets whose verses provide a good entry point into the dynamic artform of poetry.
