YA
Written by teens who participated in workshops run by WritersCorps in San Francisco, the Bronx, and Washington D.C., these poems cover a wide range of topics including family, friendship, school, culture, politics, and love. Most of the poems are unpolished, but they are honest, passionate, and sometimes insightful. Writing teachers will find this collection useful for inspiring their own students.
