@@eggizgud That line really is deep and caught my attention. This young woman is so intelligent and insightful beyond words. Her poetry really makes you think and very capturing.
This quote is the first thing you see on the video for “Nobody Knows” by Iskwe, who is another poet (singer), who speaks about her experiences as an Indigenous woman in a society in which her very existence is political. If you like this speaker, check out Iskwe’s work.

How do you feel about "We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace"? I would love to hear your thoughts. Would you want to hear more from Amanda? I definitely do!
As an educator and poet myself, I am beyond inspired by Ms. Gorman’s words. We CAN create worlds with our words. Every new idea started as impossible words. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I am so impressed by this girl. I am amazed by her talent to hypnotize us through her words, and make us all obsessed with the power of poetry. Time flies while she is speaking, and I can watch her all day. Well done Amanda! Looking forward to hear more from you!

I wonder if it is during the intimately immersive experience of creating the spirit of the piece (and then working it up to perform) that Ms Gorman adopts the content along the way. Still, I noticed that Ms Gorman did follow her text at the inauguration -- a brilliant professional choice, I'd say, given the circumstances! My favourite line: "...broke their chains and changed the world". Do you have one?
Amanda Gorman really added such a beautiful infusion of passion and elegance to the inaugural festivities. America was left so scorched and parched from the most recent antics of civil unrest in our Nation's Capitol. She poured cool, much-needed water onto our land, to help to quench America's thirst for freedom and democracy. Thank you Amanda. Godspeed to you. Well Done.

@Donovan Tanner The 'r' is a speech impediment she has talked about overcoming through intensive work, an inability to pronounce 'r' sounds. Some people like Jonathan Ross have just left it be, hence his nickname "Wossy". Amanda worked hard to keep working on it, though, and in her recent performance and interviews, you can't hear ANY hint that she ever had a problem before.
"Her poetry is boring". Not "She Poetry is boring". "Needs explaining. Not" "Needs so explaining". these are just some mistakes in your poetry there were other mistakes to. I can tell you if you want.
Amanda, your poem at the Inaugural today was superb...your words, phrase , delivery and presence is so powerful, you move my heart. You have a beautiful soul, please continue to share your thoughts and beliefs. we love you
I’m just trying to watch this video for a college assignment and now I’m in the library trying not to cry. She is absolutely amazing and I hate that it took my professor telling me to listen to her poems and speeches for me to know who she is.
Her poem today Not only to our country,to the world....it was the most wonderous thing I've ever heard,truly.... She truly is an example to follow on how to be the best in humanity,communication,and soul....
I'm an old(ish) white bloke from across the Atlantic and I'm totally captivated by this young black ladys demeanour and talent. Her words and work are well beyond her years. Isn't the world a great place sometimes.
I wish this talk existed when I was younger, as a high school kid scribbling lines, or as a college junior with people telling me my writing sucked. It answers a lot of the doubts that I've had in writing and in any creative field. It's amazing. Thank you, Amanda Gorman.
At least Majakovskij wrote some good poems in his youth. Whereas this woman started directly from borign, valueless propaganda. It reminds me of some literary figures, that you can find in Huxley's or Zamjatin's works: the alfa, the state's poetical engineer, that has beautiful clothes and expensive lifestyle for free and can mathematically create poems celebrating egemonic new mass culture. She said nothing surprising, nothing unexpected nor innovetive point of view. She said exactly what a computer might have predicted her to say. But, we have already seen this film, very soon nothing will lasts of all this ideological "literature"
Interesting topic now that one political party believes that everyone on the other side can’t be allowed to use political speech... and as you pointed out ultimately all words and actions can be classified as political... so where does that lead us? Nowhere nice according to world history and human nature.
I watched Amanda's speech at the inauguration and I was speechless. I had to do a reaction video about her on my channel. Thank you for sharing your light with us, Amanda Gorman. You are terrific!
If there's one thing I learned as a writer in my part of Europe, it's that tying your poetics to any kind of politics is always a bad idea, because ideologies have an expiration date, whereas sublime, authentic poetry does not. Which means that, when the ideology changes, certain authors-though gifted- are labeled as cultural pariahs. For authors, supporting politics is rather being willingly enslaved by it, but poetry should be about freedom. I was told by American colleagues it's apparently unpopular labelling her inauguration poem as a monologue declaring political ambitions, which it obviously turned into. I'm sure she's talented, so it's a mystery to me why she needs it.
That's the problem with literature and fine arts. She is by all accounts well read (not the same as being truly educated) but her rants about politics which pass as poetry are mediocre and is not proof of her being talented. It's pure wokism and feminism to call her talented
@@vatotalk Once you turn into a motivational speaker and an Oprah-approved author, your lose the ability to see that you're merely being groomed by powerful women as their pet project for the future, although career-wise she'll probably benefit from it. Unless she severs literary ties with politics, she'll end up exacerbating the narrative that help build such a support for Trump in the first place. Something tells me that's not what she's going for. Poetry is no showbusiness.
The pathology of poetry is oft times political. Maybe in your country where you’re not politically oppressed you can write about rainbows and unicorns...
@@flyingrover9022 Every act of art has something of a political undertone depending on other factors, liko occasion or environment. But trust me, there's all sorts of opression here, even though I live in Europe. A very famous, recently deceased Croatian actress got fired from her theatre in Zagreb and got evicted from her apartment unlawfully, because she did a play in the "wrong" neighbouring country, and none of her colleagues at home stepped up to support her, maybe because they were afraid they'd end up the same way. So she moved to the US, where she starred in "Lost". Just google Mira Furlan. So it's not all rainbows and unicorns even though we're all white here.
What's up with all the bigoted comments she didn't even really express any real political views outside of wanting people to express their political views
@@mariagalleriaxi8632 It is an attack against us. Just like they are 48x more likely to be violent against us in real life than we are to them. But they still push this narrative of being oppressed.
Why does she need to denigrate "old white men" poets? They too had the hearts of artists. It's about their brains and words and souls. Politics shouldn't cancel them, just as it shouldn't cancel her. Humans first.
"Old white men" have power with their mouths closed; she has to open hers and earn her right to speak. In poetry, politics and life, that's an advantage which takes no skill or effort. I support her words to call this out; I know she's not _denigrating_ poets but challenging a social framework. If I can, so can you.
Her overall talk was good, but I agree with you that her overt racism only takes away from her message and credibility. Were the exact same thing said about anyone else, there would be push back, but in this case everyone laughs and nods. And that 99% of the Ted crowd fawning over her ignoring the obvious inconsistency is a harvest our society will unfortunately have to reap.
Amanda Gorman is my new favorite! My seventh grade English students have enjoyed reading her poetry and listening to her powerful speech! We are currently working on comparing and contrasting her Inaugural poem with Gwendolyn Brooks' "Speech to the Young- Speech to the Progress-Toward"
@@blowme5258 😒 if it wasn’t for “the left”, we wouldn’t have rights, dummy. There’s a place for politics. It’s about how to get society running more smoothly and getting people to better communicate their beliefs. The point I’m trying to make is that, it’s not something that should be taken so seriously to the point where every day life isn’t livable because you’re constantly picking at what you *believe* other people are doing wrong. Nobody really knows anything and everyone is going to die.
