To work with and write poetry with young people is to be inspired every day. Kids are wise beyond their years and it would be in the best interest of adults to listen to them more often. This is especially true of the young voices of Albuquerque. In this book you will read poems that deftly and poetically take on tough issues. Poems range from creating awareness about bullying, celebrating cultural identity, debunking stereotypes, body image mindfulness and radical self-love, hanging out with their families, and what it is like being a kid.

Inspired by their participation in a creative writing course led by acclaimed author Martha Beck, 138 individuals from around the world came together to assemble an anthology of their work--searing personal and soaringly universal--that, as whole, offers a portrait of being and a platform for becoming. Song of Ourself: Voices in Unison is a diary of empowerment, an ode to the overlooked, and a bridge to the beyond. More than anything else, it is a friend to any reader in need.Arranged into stages of Awakening, Becoming, and Connecting, this collection traces the transformation from the individuality of "myself" to the shared reciprocity of "ourself," proposing an ideal of oneness and the paradigm shift necessary to attaining it. Featuring poetry, prose, allegories, prayers, and other varieties of thinking-with-words, Song of Ourself combines lyricism and humor with heart-wrenching vulnerability. The ensemble stands as a testament to the power of language to effect personal, interpersonal, and collective change. The print edition is available for at-cost sale, with no author royalties.

Poetry inspires young people's creativity. Poetry inspires young people to be different—unique. Poetry gives young people a new alternative. Poetry gives us a voice, allowing us to be heard. Today's youth have the most untainted feelings in the world because of all that we must go through. Peer pressure can be a powerful influence on a teenager and the decisions that we make concerning alcohol, drugs, sex, love, the perfect body and more. Writing allows me to express my deepest feelings without fear and even to unwind after a long day. I journal write a great deal because it is a way that I can momentarily escape from my hectic life and come back feeling renewed. Make Some Noise! is a wonderful publication and I want to thank Motion Publications and Terry a O'Neal, for giving me the opportunity to come out from underneath my shell and share my thoughts and feelings with the world—it means more than one can imagine. It has given me the confidence, strength and hope that I need to take life's next step. Anthologies like this one are not common. It is so amazing to read the poems in this book because it lets me know that I am not the only one dealing with teen issues that are difficult to talk about. So parents, when you read these poems, remember that the authors are real, and the troubles and questions that we are facing are real. In closing, I would like to encourage all young people to keep writing, get out those feelings or situations that you are unable to speak about and in doing so, you never know, you could be the next big thing! ~Brooke Brewer
