But seeing it in print (I'm more of a visual person), there are a number of places where the imagery is so beautiful (besides the ones you called out). Having traveled through a lot of the United States I love her descriptions of "every known nook of our nation and every corner" from our windswept northeast (that is what it was yesterday) to the gold limbed west I hope to see again one day. But I also shudder at the walk still ahead of us to find the light at the end. Thank you, Amanda, for expressing it in a way few of us can.Alanahttp://ramblinwitham.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-20997878066702498652021-01-24T03:57:34.048-06:002021-01-24T03:57:34.048-06:00The whole world is now hopelessly in love with Ama...The whole world is now hopelessly in love with Amanda Gorman.
