Amanda Gorman will be the first female poet to appear at the US Superbowl.
At the 55th final of the NFL football league on February 7th, the 22-year-old is said to honor three everyday heroes with a poem who achieved special things during the corona pandemic.
The American poet has been acclaimed since she recited her poem "The Hill We Climb" when Joe Biden was inaugurated.
The performance was considered by many to be the highlight of the inauguration ceremony.
Her works became bestsellers overnight, although they won't appear until next fall.
In Germany, the Hoffmann und Campe publishing house secured the rights to their books.
Gorman holds the title of USA's first "National Youth Poet Laureate" (for example: national youth poet).
Her poem "The Hill We Climb", written for the inauguration, reflects Gorman's personal story about the difficult social conditions in the USA.
Now before the start of the football final between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa, Florida, she is to honor the commitment of three fellow citizens - educator Trimaine Davis, nurse manager Suzie Dorner and Navy veteran James Martin, reported the Washington Post.
Davis is a Los Angeles educator who used hotspots, laptops, and tablets to offset the differences in tech among his students during the pandemic.
Suzie Dorner is an intensive care nurse at Tampa General Hospital in Florida who lost two grandparents to Covid-19.
James Martin is a Marine veteran who promotes local family networking initiatives.
