Amanda Gorman’s breakout poetry collection will make you feel every emotion

If there’s anyone we want to hear more from, it’s American poet Amanda Gorman. In January, the United States’ national youth poet laureate captured the world’s attention with a message of hope by performing her poem, The Hill We Climb, at Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration. The following month, she was on the cover of TIME, being interviewed by Michelle Obama. This week, she’s Stylist’s cover star. Today, the 23-year-old releases her first poetry collection, Call Us What We Carry (Vintage) – and it’s just as compelling as you’d expect. 

Throughout the 70 poems, Gorman intricately articulates her thoughts on everything from the value of human connection and touch in Cut, to the grief we all need to process in The Shallow, right through to issues at the forefront of our minds, like the degrading state of the environment in Earth Eyes. “Gorman has a way of expressing the mundane, complex, rational and irrational thoughts that have been circulating in our collective consciousness for the past year with such brevity,” says Stylist Loves writer Kiran Meeda. “If you found her inauguration poem uplifting, consider this poetry for the soul, making you reflect on how you really feel. In classic Gorman style though, it’s laced with the underlying message that the strength of the human character lies in us simply carrying on.” Onwards and upwards, indeed. £14.99; bookshop.org

This genius new skincare set is all about looking forward, not backward

As the old adage goes, skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. No one understands this more than Deciem, the company behind cult brand The Ordinary and its lesser-known big sister, Niod. Famed for delivering high-end skincare formulas at affordable prices, their latest release – and the first collaboration between the two brands – flips skincare’s usual mission on its head. Rather than trying to ‘fix’ what’s happened in the past, such as pigmentation, scarring or dehydration, The Future Set features five curated products that work together to focus on your skin’s future health.

Inside, you’ll find The Ordinary’s beloved Squalane Cleanser and its EUK 134 0.1% antioxidant serum – one of the strongest on the market – which helps to prevent signs of ageing while protecting against free radicals. Meanwhile, Niod’s Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Complex packs a hydration hit, thanks to 15 different kinds of hyaluronic compounds that penetrate every layer of your skin, and the Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate that boasts 28 clinical ingredients to treat the entire eye area, not just dark circles and under-eye puffiness. As the last step, Niod’s Hydration Vaccine creates a hydration ‘seal’, supplementing the skin’s natural barrier against water loss and helping to protect the cocktail of ingredients you’ve just applied. Not only does The Future Set come in a chic white case, you’ll also save more than £17 on the regular price of all five products – future you’s bank balance will be just as happy as future you’s skin… £100; deciem.com
