Occasional Poetry Redux: Amanda Gorman, the Presidential Inauguration, and the NFL s Big Game In this post, we take a look at what makes a good poem (including occasional poetry), reaction to Amanda Gorman s inaugural poem, and how you can write effective poetry for any occasion. Author: Feb 7, 2021 If nothing else, 2021 is already an exciting year for poets and poetry, and mostly because of the exploits of former (and first ever) National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman. On January 20, she read a poem at the inauguration of President Joe Biden. In a few minutes (probably between 6 and 6:40 pm Tampa time), she ll read a poem as part of the coin toss ceremonies for the NFL s big championship game. What a poetic start to the year!
