(4) YA Orca Soundings series. Tara copes with her sister Hannah's suicide by performing slam poetry. Her poems are presented in italics throughout the book; first-person narration describes performance aspects ("Here's where I speed up and get louder") and tells Tara's story. The dialogue occasionally strains for a teen voice, but detailed descriptions of the competitive slam poetry world are vivid and engaging.
