In my mind, the purpose of being the inaugural poet and of my poem was to transcend politics and envision a new relationship between all Americans. I wanted America to embrace itself, so to speak, and recognize -- no, feel -- how we are all an essential part of one whole, if only for those few minutes when I would stand at the podium.
-- Richard Blanco, For All of Us, One Today, p. 64
