    Amazing and powerful.

    At 23, the best I could do was think of dirty limericks about how there was a man from Nantucket.

    yeah, can't imagine the pressure of writing a fresh poem for a Presidential Inauguration

    here she is at age 19, at Library of Congress, after winning her Poet Laureate

    btw, our President had a stuttering challenge, and this poet had a speech impediment (difficulty with certain sounds). As someone with a speech impediment (stammer) I always look at those that overcame theirs as inspirations that one day I will too.

    Not making a political statement, but this was shared with me and enjoyed it.
