Through poetry we tell the world who we are, where we're from, what we love, what we think, how we feel, and why we hope.With a foreword by hip-hop artist and celebrated urban poet Common, Tell the World is a stunning collection of poems by teens who have taken part in workshops run by WritersCorps, a national alliance of literary arts programs for youth.Their words represent the thoughts, hopes, and dreams of teens everywhere, offering both insight and empathy.
