Falling Hard: 100 Love Poems by Teenagers

148 pp. | Candlewick | December, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3437-7 $15.99
(3) YA Teens of different ethnicities and sexual orientations share their thoughts about romance, which are as multifaceted as love itself. Blunt or coy, funny or bittersweet, tender or biting, these free-verse poems about sex, lust, jealousy, being gay, betrayal, and other topics reverberate with energy, raw emotion, and sometimes explicit language. With authenticity and honesty, the memorable pieces speak directly to teens.
