Rattle Young Poets Anthology

 

RYPA 2014

How does an eight-year-old respond to global climate change? How does an eleven-year-old process the notion of a beheading? How does a four-year-old experience her mother’s anxiety? These 60 poets may be kids, but they write about most of the things that adults do, and with a depth of understanding that deserves more respect than they’re often given. This is not a cute collection hoping to win your adoration. These are real poems, by talented authors, with important stories to share—stories that are at turns haunting and hilarious, heart-warming and heart-breaking. Be delighted and inspired, but don’t treat these poets lightly.
