The Power of Poetry

The Power of Poetry

By Neya Krishnan, New Canaan HS Senior

Since her performance of ‘The Hill We Climb’, the public has fallen in love with Amanda Gorman, and it’s not hard to see why. I think that the public’s reaction to Gorman speaks to the unique ability of poetry to unify, shed light on challenging topics, express shared sentiments in a profound way, and bring us all closer together.
