Poetry, some typed, some typographic. Enter the archives of these authors’ memories. Hear about identity, ancestry, constellations, and masks.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “Join these writers as they mine the archives of their memories. Teen writers from across Chicago reflect on the concept of ‘grim fantasy,’ derived from Octavia Butler’s Kindred. Through their experiences, imaginations, dreams, and knowledge these writers create a multi-genre lens to view their realities.”
