On the third day of the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, the National Youth Poet Laureate performed a new piece titled “This Sacred Scene” as the party celebrated the Kamala Harris–Tim Walz ticket.
After President Joe Biden named her the nation's youngest inaugural poet in 2021, Gorman explained to Vanity Fair what the poem means.
"I think for a while I was trying to think about what the Democratic Convention means, and more specifically, more importantly, what it means for people to come together around shared values and principles," Gorman said. "I think there's something sacred about it. I think there's something special and also ancient about it that goes to the roots of who we are as human beings. I wanted to speak to the importance of unity that, for me, transcends party."
