What good is turning eighteen? What defines a person? What should I believe? These questions and more are raised throughout these truly introspective poems. Hear about these authors' inner children, conversations with younger selves, adrenaline, and societal expectations.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “This book is an invitation into the teenage mind. A place full of hope, vulnerability, humor, and personal intimacy. We hope that, as we pour ourselves into every letter and paint our experiences in every comma, you see our minds as the incomplete yet perfect messes they are; that you know this book is not a period, but a semicolon.” —826 Boston’s Youth Literary Advisory Board. In their poems, artwork, and essays, these student authors explore issues of mental health, love, social expectations, and where they go to find peace and comfort.”
