a guide to writing poetry & speaking your truth
This guide encourages teens to find their voices, step up and speak their truths, and articulate what matters to them most--both personally and politically--whether it be boldly to an outside audience or just privately for themselves. Young adults are reading and writing and performing poetry more than ever before, and yet it's the most difficult form for schools to teach. Written in short, easy-to-digest chapters, [this book] includes prompts and inspiration, writing suggestions and instruction, brief interviews with some . . . poets such as Kim Addonizio, Safia Elhillo, and others, and poem excerpts scattered throughout the book"--Provided by publisher.
