This is an anthology of poetry of the widest scope. These authors reflect on everything from racism to family to nature to food. Hear about cotton candy, jellyfish, go-karts, the Civil Rights Movement, and more.

From the publisher: “My People All Glimmered in Gold is the 2021 anthology of poetry by the Woodlawn Writers Corps, a collective of students from Avondale Elementary School, Putnam Middle School and i3 Academy. As members of the Woodlawn Writers Corps, these students meet weekly with Desert Island Supply Co. volunteers for curriculum-aligned creative writing workshops that explore how poetry and language intersect with history, science, math, and the arts.”
