He knows how to reach teens, and this lively collection by young contemporary writers is rooted in the strong, emotional particulars of family, friendship, childhood memories, school, dislocation, war, and more; interestingly, there is almost no talk of sex or romance. The spare lines are passionate, wry, irreverent, and eloquent about meaning found in daily-life scenarios. Teens will connect with the passionate, unmoderated feelings that arc given clarity and shape in each poem.

Impressions:
It was amazing to have all this collection of poems into a book because all of them were very unique. Each poem was a surprise to me when reading them because I did not expect what poem would I read next. This would be a great book for young teenagers to read for its variety of poems.

Suggestions:
This is a great opportunity to have a poetry night at the library. Students can read a poem that caught their attention from this book and make their own. A date is set for poetry night and parents are welcomed to go and hear the students recite poems. This can help the community get together and enjoy the night.
