On January 20, 2009, Elizabeth Alexander served as the fourth ever
inaugural poet and a central participant in one of the most closely
watched inaugurations in American history. Selected by Barack Obama,
Alexander composed and delivered her original poem "Praise Song for the
Day" to an audience of millions, and now the poem can be read and
savored for posterity. Printed on heavy, uncoated stock, with French
flaps, and a silver foil stamp, this collectible chapbook is a cherished
reminder of this monumental presidential event.
Also available in Spanish.
