The 2018 edition of the annual Wordplay anthology contains poetry from children of all ages. With so much content to go around, this collection can be read from either of its two front covers. Poetry on nature, happiness, darkness, and top fears awaits.

From the publisher: “At Just Buffalo Literary Center, we believe in the love of reading, the art of writing, and the power of the literary arts to transform individual lives and communities. Wordplay, our annual anthology featuring the writing of young people composed during our education programs, performs every part of this mission. It creates a platform for the community of young voices throughout Western New York to explore literature. It gives young people the time and space to look closely at the world and reflect upon what they see. It is in this exploration and attending to the world that a deeper understanding of the self is opened up.”
