Amanda Gorman, the young poet who delivered a captivating performance at President Joe Biden’s inauguration, opened the Super Bowl on Sunday with a new work celebrating essential workers.
“They’ve taken the lead / Exceeding all expectations and limitations / Uplifting their communities and neighbors / As leaders, healers and educators,” she said. The Super Bowl is among the world’s largest stages, with at least 80 million viewers, meaning Gorman’s work will reach an even wider audience than Biden’s inauguration that saw some 40 million tunes in.“Poetry at the Super Bowl is a feat for art & our country because it means we’re thinking imaginatively about human connection even when we feel siloed,” Gorman tweeted ahead of her performance.
Originally from Los Angeles and raised by a single mother, Gorman had a speech impediment as a child, like the 46th president, and turned to writing.
