Dear Mrs. Gorman,
Democracy has triumphed, said Joe Biden, but you were more careful in your poem, which you performed with echoes of gospel and slam poetry: Democracy, that is something to come.
As a "skinny black girl raised by a single mother", they fit so perfectly into this thoroughly choreographed promotional event for a future, more liberal, more colorful America that some might wonder what was going to happen to "The Hill We Climb", if you read it beyond Prada and politics.
Is this in accordance with your wishes?
Do you want your poem to remain part of a Better World commercial that airs globally?
