|
Praise Song for the Day, the poem read at the inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20, 2009, is one of the most memorable poems of 2009. For the occasion, Elizabeth Alexander delivered a work that was both humble and moving—continuing the tradition of inaugural poems that began with Robert Frost.
This beautiful chapbook was published by Graywolf Press and includes the poem in its entirety, printed on 30 percent post-consumer-water paper, bound together between an embossed, navy blue cardstock cover. Alexander's commemorative booklet is the perfect keepsake for such an historic event.
