Paint Me like I Am: Teen Poems from WritersCorps

128 pp. | HarperTempest | March, 2003 | Library ISBN 0-06-029288-1 $$16.89 | Paper ISBN 0-06-447264-7 $$6.99
(4) YA Each of this book's seven sections, including "I Too Am American" and "Furious," begins with a writing assignment given to teens participating in WritersCorps, a literacy program directed at disadvantaged youth. Subjects include jazz, race, crushes, addiction, and names, and although not every piece is a literary standout, collectively, they amount to a memorable portrait of urban adolescence.
