This anthology from WritersCorps incorporates poems written by teens from three major cities across the United States: San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and the Bronx.These poems aren't all delightful with happy endings. They talk of teen issues and troubles; most deal with immigrating to the U.S. and the differences between here and their homes.With a foreword by Sherman Alexie, this small anthology book of teen poets quickly guides the reader through real struggles and dilemmas that teenagers face.TELL THE WORLD is an eye-opening book of poetry that is sure to enlighten any who read it.Reviewed by: Steph

The shipping kind of sucked but it was worth the wait. I love this book and Paint Me Like I Am. Buy both of them if you're into poetry, teenage difficulties, and a good book to exercise your writing capabilities.

I work with at-risk teens, and they LOVE these poems. I highly recommend these poems for teens who are into poetry.

thanks
