POETRY & DRAMA NEW & SELECTED
I had to to separate my new books into categories of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. It’s a good problem to have — too many good books to feature. I am going to be discriminating and probably slow to work on the poetry page. I have a large poetry section in the store, but I have not considered most of it for listing before. Look forward to a steady and deliberate listing of a wide variety of poetry and lyrics books in the days to come.

PUBLICATION DATE IS NOW DECEMBER 7, 2021.
The breakout poetry collection by #1 New York Times bestselling author and presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman
Formerly titled The Hill We Climb and Other Poems, Amanda Gorman’s remarkable new collection reveals an energizing and unforgettable voice in American poetry. Call Us What We Carry is Gorman at her finest. Including “The Hill We Climb,” the stirring poem read at the inauguration of the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden, and bursting with musical language and exploring themes of identity, grief, and memory, this lyric of hope and healing captures an important moment in our country’s consciousness while being utterly timeless.
