This anthology of poetry touches many deep subjects. Concepts like memory, worry, identity, and life are explored with grace. Hear of trees, appearances, wind, and names.

From the publisher: “In the chaotic midst of 2020, a sixth-grade poetry workshop was led over the course of seven months by poet and teaching artist Perla Yasmeen Meléndez. How do you wear your name? What stories are written into your hair? What lives deep in the pockets of your memory? These were some of the questions offered to the young poets. The poems are windows into their ruminant and luminous answers. While you read them, see if you can spot your own reflection.”
