Hip Deep: Opinion, Essays, and Vision from American Teenagers
Edited by Abe Louise Young with the youth board of Next Generation Press
Preface by Dixie Goswami, Breadloaf School of English
What is on the minds of America's youth? There is no better way to find out than to read their essays, speeches, and poems on topics they consider urgent. More than fifty young writers-from villages in Alaska to housing projects in Alabama-tell what matters to them in this remarkable new anthology. (Includes a guide for aspiring teen writers called How and Where to Publish Your Work.)
Poet Naomi Shihab Nye calls Hip Deep "a collection to wipe the sorrowful spin of news from our eyes and ears, to remind us there is truth out there somewhere, and it's young as well as timeless, and it feels wonderful to find it. This is a book for every teacher, every high school, every parent, and every person in this land who cares about the intriguing, necessary stories of young lives."
