's inauguration, thought she'd have to give up poetry to chase her political dreams, but she's come to realize that that would be a mistake.
"I used to think about it in the more traditional sense of, OK, we’re going to do this poetry thing for a little bit, and then you’re going to put the pen down and switch over to politics," she says."Being able to talk to people like Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, I realized I don’t have to change who I am to be a leader."
"If anything," Gorman continues, "those qualities will be what become my strength when I bring them into my field.""That’s what happened at the Lincoln Memorial when Martin Luther King Jr. stepped up on it and started speaking. Just words -- vibrations in the air -- but to completely revamp the American image with his speech," she says, before adding of her inauguration poem,"I wasn’t trying to be the next Martin Luther King.
"All that I can hope from my poetry is that it will give people the language or the hope by which they begin a self-rescue," she adds."The magic that everybody else has, including me, is our actions. When we put them to work, that’s when the sorcery exists."In March, Gorman's book, , became an instant best-seller.
