Telling Room's latest anthology celebrates the works of dozens of students in this sampling of a year of hard work. With authors as young as eight and as old as eighteen, all backgrounds and ages of chidlhood are explored. Hear about house colors, Camp Hope, fishing, New England, chickens, boating, and adoption.

From the publisher: “The fifty poems and stories in From the Edge of the World express what it’s like to change––what it’s like to grow up, what it’s like to leave, and what it’s like to look back.Here you’ll find fiction, personal narratives, memoir, essays, poems, letters, and persuasive essays by authors who explore the struggles of growing up, family, home, culture, and self-discovery. They play with humor, darkness, tenderness, and empowerment and range in tone from grief, loss, and death to peace, love, and joy.”
