APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Amanda Gorman captivated the nation when she performed her poem “The Hill We Climb” at President Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration. In this amazing audio experience, Gorman performs that moving piece again with all of that same energy and incandescence—but this time we get to experience the intimacy and clarity provided by a professional recording booth. The brief forward by Oprah Winfrey sets the stage, eloquently reminding us that the literary heroine we’re about to hear was only 22 years old when she penned and performed this piece to celebrate America’s highest office. Capturing so much about the strength we find in each other as we struggle to create a better society, Gorman’s sophisticated turns of phrase and the gravity of her presence are way beyond her years. The Hill We Climb is a small but mighty audiobook. Whenever you need a shot of hope or inspiration, all you have to do is press play.

Want Gorman on audio preview not Winfrey
Why on earth would Apple give a preview audio clip of Oprah and not Gorman??!
I’m buying for Gorman’s voice not Oprah’s.
Apple, do better.
