The Power of Poetry

The Power of Poetry

By Neya Krishnan, New Canaan HS Senior

Since her performance of β€˜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.
