Well, I'm a shell of a person now. The one thing that I think people should try is to read this book with have a physical copy wail listening to to audio. With the book there are some really interesting ways that the poems are layout that you would miss just listening to the audio. A few examples, there is a poem written on an image of a mask, there is another poem shaded into a whale, and a poem that starts on a black page and keeps getting lighter as you read on. However, if you just read the physical copy you loose the rhythm of the poems. Amanda Gorman does reads the audio book. Though if for some reason that you rather just pick audio OR physical, I would defiantly have to choose the audio.
