Sips n' Stories Book Club (Call Us What We Carry: Poems)

Join us on Zoom for a drink and book discussion. We'll make a Mango Basil Margarita and then discuss Call Us What We Carry: Poems by Amanda Gorman (or bring a drink of your choice).

The e-book and audiobook are always available on Libby. The book is available at the library.

Summary: Formerly titled The Hill We Climb and Other Poems, the luminous poetry collection by #1 New York Times bestselling author and presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman captures a shipwrecked moment in time and transforms it into a lyric of hope and healing. In Call Us What We Carry, Gorman explores history, language, identity, and erasure through an imaginative and intimate collage. Harnessing the collective grief of a global pandemic, this beautifully designed volume features poems in many inventive styles and structures and shines a light on a moment of reckoning. Call Us What We Carry reveals that Gorman has become our messenger from the past, our voice for the future.

Zoom meeting details will be emailed to you when you register. Must be 21 or older.
