Thrilled to share that my article on the challenges of translating #AmandaGorman’s inaugural poem #TheHillWeClimb has just been published!
This first piece in a planned series of articles takes a decidedly linguistic lens, examining semantic-stylistic shifts in translation.

“The new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”
Amanda Gorman shared her poetry and truth. She is also a children’s author and continues to promote peace.

My next read: The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman. Just don’t tell DeSantis. It is banned in at least one Floriduh school. #booksbooksbooks #booktok #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #thehillweclimb @amandascgorman
In honor of Black History Month, and in consideration of all the turmoil going on in our country today, I thought it was appropriate to remind everyone of Amanda Gorman's magical prose from January 20, 2021.

Happy for suggestions... Should be reading more throughout the year!
Four years ago, #AmandaGorman gave us the unforgettable poem #TheHillWeClimb. "There is always light if only we’re brave enough to be it."
Her 2023 book Something, Someday is a deeply affecting call to children to follow their instincts to be agents of social change. I reread often.

When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid,
the new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it.
If only we're brave enough to be it… #thehillweclimb
The Hill We Climb (short version) When day comes, we ask ourselves: Where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, the weight we bear, a sea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast, we’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace, and the norms and notions of what just is isn’t always justice. And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow, we do it. Somehow, we’ve weathered and witnessed a world that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished. That is the promise to fulfill. The hill we climb, if only we dare it. When day comes, we step out of the shade, aflame and unafraid. The new dawn blooms as we free it, for there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.
