Hi!
It seemed to me like our class might be particularly interested in Elizabeth Alexander's inaugural poem, only the fourth such poem in the history of the United States (the first three were Robert Frost's "The Gift Outright" at Kennedy's inauguration, Maya Angelou's "On the Pulse of Morning" at Clinton's first inauguration, and Miller Williams's "Of History and Hope" at Clinton's second inauguration).
