The youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, Gorman stole the hearts of people worldwide in 2021 with her Inauguration Day poem, “The Hill We Climb.” (She continued turning heads with her simultaneous rise as a fashion star.) Gorman’s subsequent poem-turned-book met with resistance in early May after a Florida parent requested the book be removed from Miami-Dade County elementary schools due to its supposed “indirect hate.” But that hasn’t stopped Gorman. She has a children’s book and a poetry collection, “Call Us What We Carry,” out now, and according to her website, she has three more books forthcoming.
