Waiting To Be Heard
The voices of students speaking about peace and violence are loud and clear, and they can be read in "Waiting to Be Heard." This anthology by thirty-nine students of San Francisco's Thurgood Marshall Academic High School, with a foreword by Isabel Allende, combines essays, fiction, poetry, and experimental writing to offer passionate, lucid staments about personal, local, and global issues-- the way high-schoolers would have you hear them.
