“What’s really funny about being National Youth Poet Laureate is that not everyone even knows it exists,” said @amandascgorman, who was given the honor in April. “I feel in many ways like a unicorn.” The 19-year-old poet, author and activist — photographed here by @itsmetonyluong — writes poetry with a cleareyed mix of autobiography, social issues and historical motifs picked up from the library at @harvard, where she’s a sophomore. Inspired by a speech that #MalalaYousafzai gave in 2013, @amandascgorman became a youth delegate for the @unitednations at 16. In 2014, she was named the inaugural Los Angeles Youth Poet Laureate. And the next year, she published her first poetry collection. She’s taking her new role seriously. “I did a lot of sitting back and thinking about what I wanted for myself and what I wanted for my country: more unity, more support for the arts and more opportunities for young writers from marginalized groups,” she said. She continues to lead @1pen1page, an organization she founded in 2016 that provides platforms “for student storytellers to change the world.” On her bucket list: the White House. “This is a long, long, faraway goal, but 2036 I am running for office to be president of the United States,” she said. “So you can put that in your iCloud calendar.”
