Washington, D.C. – America’s poet William Owens announces the launch of his newest poem, a powerful and evocative piece that seeks to mend the fractures of a divided nation with words of healing and truth. Titled “America the Beautiful, America the Bold,” this new work is now available on Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon Music, symbolizing a call for unity and understanding in challenging times.
In the aftermath of recent political and social turmoil, Owens’ poem provides a reflective commentary on the events surrounding the inauguration of the current US President on January 6, 2020. Through his poignant verses, Owens critiques the prevailing narratives of the time, especially those presented in Amanda Gorman’s inauguration poem, “The Hill We Climb.” Owens contends that while Gorman’s words were styled as a beacon of hope and unity, they inadvertently laid the groundwork for further division by casting a previous administration in a controversial light.
“With ‘America the Beautiful, America the Bold,’ I aim to steer our collective focus back to the core values that define us—a nation that rises above adversity, a nation that heals and forgives,” states Owens. His new composition introduces a narrative that contrasts sharply with the accusatory tone he perceives in Gorman’s work, proposing instead a vision of poetic justice that upholds truth and reconciliation.
Owens’ poem questions the efficacy of past narratives and underscores the resilience of American democracy. It explores the notion that true poetic justice is not realized through premature judgments or divisive rhetoric but through the enduring principles of truth and fairness. Owens highlights the recent exoneration of a previous administration from numerous charges as a moment of vindication, suggesting a misalignment between public discourse and judicial outcomes.
As America’s Poet, Owens has consistently used his platform to advocate for a balanced and introspective examination of the nation’s challenges. His portfolio, including 50 poems penned during the heated 2016 presidential race, reflects a commitment to addressing the complex layers of American identity and politics with candor and depth.
“The poem is a reminder that our country’s strength lies in its ability to navigate the roughest waters with the compass of truth,” Owens adds. His previous works, such as “America in Trouble” and “The Finish Line,” have similarly tackled themes of perseverance and national identity, resonating with a wide audience seeking solace and inspiration in poetry.
Looking ahead, Owens hopes that his latest poem will serve as a catalyst for a more harmonious political discourse and foster a greater appreciation for the role of art in societal healing. He also expresses a heartfelt wish that the themes of his poem may one day echo from the steps of the Capitol, offering words of unity at a future presidential inauguration.
Listeners are invited to experience “America the Beautiful, America the Bold” on their preferred streaming service, where they can engage with Owens’ vision of a more unified and resilient America.
