Item Description

On January 21, 2013, Richard Blanco, the first immigrant, first Latino, first gay and the youngest person to be the inaugural poet read his poem, One Today at the 57th Presidential Inauguration.  In this signed copy of his memoir, Blanco reveals the inspiration and challenges behind the creation of the inaugural poem, and reflects on his life-changing role as a public voice since the inauguration, his spiritual embrace of Americans everywhere, and his vision for poetry’s new role in our nation’s consciousness.

"A moving, intimate memoir... This is a book not just about one poet's journey but about the power of poetry to capture moments, to transform lives, and to illuminate truths." - Anderson Cooper
