A collection of poetry straight from the minds of these student authors. Poets write on everything from religion to pain to love. Read moving displays about life, baseball, fear, flight, confusion, burdens, and forgetting.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “This poetry collection sweeps across the plains of feeling and tone, exploring questions of origin, depicting corner store drama, and railing against thwarted love. To read these poems, written by tenth graders at Bronx Leadership Academy II, is to watch these young writers coming into their sense of voice and making the genre of poetry their own.”
