More About This Book

Overview

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. 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.

Editorial Reviews

Katie Roiphe
All the poems in this collection are gathered from literacy workshops run by WritersCorps, which teach students, often from schools in poor neighborhoods, how to use poetry to write about their lives. Again one sees the benefit of writing as a way of defining and mastering and clarifying. These kids are using the verse form, stripped bare, to communicate, using the silences and emphases of a single line on the page to get through the tangle of an emotion.
—The New York Times

From The Critics
In "A Collage," 16-year-old Indiana Pehlivanova states, "The little mute girl was looking for her / Voice, in a drop of water." That search might well describe the poems contained in Tell the World, the second collection of adolescent poetry presented by WritersCorps, or serve as a metaphor for WritersCorps itself as this national alliance of writers attempts to give voice to the teens of San Francisco, Washington, DC and the Bronx. There is an energy and honesty that characterizes these gathered pieces, treating often typical concerns of the age, like love that "fades and fades like / Chalk washing slowly off the / Sidewalk when it's raining." And there is strength in an evident idealistic confrontation with a quixotic world beyond the individual, "This is the year everybody gets paid bread, / and minimum wage doubles. / This is the year Bush brings the troops home / and feels the pain he causes others." Yet the overriding motifs seem to be of homelands left behind, "India, why didn't you tell me / to stay in your arms?" and the quest for identity, "I come from / a long line / of people who / divided the men / from the women." The appeal of this collection lies in its raw integrity rather than its poetic polish. It gives voice to a disenfranchised segment of our population in a way that will communicate clearly and effectively in the classroom: a niche market to be sure, but an important one.

Meet the Author

Writers Corps was founded in 1994 in three American urban centers—San Francisco, California, Washington, D.C., and the Bronx, New York—with a mission to transform lives through the written word. Since its inception, the organization has helped forty thousand children and teenagers improve their writing skills and express their ideas and experiences. WritersCorps has published two collections of teen poems with HarperTeen: Paint Me Like I Am and Tell the World.

Read an Excerpt

Tell the World

Tell the World Who We Are

Who are you? Are you the child of the city you live in or the country you come from? Are you as steady as the beat of the music you love, as surprising as a bright flash of lightning, or as soothing as the sound of your grandmother's songs? Write a poem that shows through images that compare—metaphors and similes—who you are.

    Reviewed by Steph for TeensReadToo.com

    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.
