Maya Angelou

A poem read for the inauguration of President Clinton looks at the history of the country, its problems, and the opportunities that lie ahead

On the Pulse of Morning

This poem, written for Bill Clinton's presidential inauguration, takes a bold look at an old America and envisages a new one. Maya Angelou is the first poet to appear at a presidential inauguration since Robert Frost was invited by J.F. Kennedy in 1960.

Bill didn’t deserve this.

There’s no point adding in excerpts that I liked - I would just copy + paste the entire poem.
