Books with author Youth Anthology

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

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.

Almost all the poems complied in this anthology “Quilled by Patriotism” are mostly focused on true patriotism exhibited and enforced by the loyal citizens of a nation. Patriotism has been in everyone’s mind and heart. Young men and women have been enlisting in all possible ways and means to enforce and by way of that supporting their own mother country. Patriotism is recognized and identified as wisdom or a sense of devotion to one’s own motherland in the appearance of a physical act of courage or sacrifice. One of the most definable characteristics of the patriotic poetic form is the enrichment, enhancement of elegance in any human language of any nations.
