Amanda Gorman—the United States’ first National Youth Poet Laureate—is already feeling the sometimes unpleasant sting of fame. Gorman graces the cover of
Vogue’s May issue where she reflected on her celebrated rise to fame.
On Gorman’s Instagram account, she posted “The first poet ever on the cover of @voguemagazine . I am eternally grateful & do not expect to be the last—for what is poetry if not beauty? What a joy to do this cover while wearing a piece designed by groundbreaking Black designer @virgilabloh that honors my heritage.”
