This companion to Bronx Masquerade again mixes students' first-person narratives and their forays into poetry. Students in Mr. Ward's Bronx high-school class are preparing for a poetry slam. Each student is given a voice among the story's multiple points of view; though they all have different life stories, they bond over the power of words: "We were more alike than we were different."
