Including 'The Hill We Climb', the stirring poem read at the inauguration of the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden, this collection of the same name reveals an energising and unforgettable new voice in poetry.

Amanda Gormans digt "Bjerget vi bestiger" var på mange måder skelsættende, da det blev fremført i 2021 til USA's præsident Joe Bidens indvielse. Ikke blot for at være skrevet og oplæst af en ung afroamerikansk kvindelig aktivist og digter, men også for at tale direkte om retfærdighed og sammenhold i en tid, hvor det amerikanske samfund så historisk stor polarisering og konflikt. "Bjerget vi bestiger" har modtaget international ros fra både kritikere og berømte personligheder, som Barack Obama og Oprah Winfrey, som også har skrevet forordet til denne udgave.
