Third Thursday Book Club
Community book-club discussion of Amanda Gorman's Call Us What We Carry on social justice.
Please join us for the Third Thursday Book Club at South Boulevard Library. This month's theme is social justice.
We'll discuss Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman.
This is a first for our book club — a poetry collection! Don't be intimidated. Embrace the moment.
Amanda Gorman is the youngest presidential inaugural poet in US history. Gorman's full-length poetry collection offers a stunning amalgamation of poems formatted in different styles to convey a message of sorrow, unity, and collective healing. Gorman aptly organizes her poems into seven sections, navigating such topics as the pandemic, racism, bigotry, and erasure. She uses a variety of styles, including concrete and visual poetry. Within these modes, Gorman eloquently uses the shapes of flags, whales, and buildings to outline the prevailing injustices happening in America and the fragility of the planet as a whole. — Booklist
