Описание: When National Book Award winning author Nikky Finney was asked about her piece, The Battle of and for the Black Face Boy, and how it came to be, she stated, "I wanted to write a poem that traveled from the horror of one day to the lifting of our chins the next--that paid homage to how we keep moving; keep stepping forward; inventing whatever is next to invent; constructing, fashioning iron chains into wings; how we continue to fold and shape into a future what has been kept from us, regardless of the brutality that still chases us." It was with this in mind that we asked the twelfth-grade Ethnic Studies students of Mission High School in San Francisco to read and analyze Finney's libretto and create their own narratives, letters, or poems that explore histories of oppression and imagine paths to freedom. From reflections about the ability to move freely in space, to thinking about the attitudes, mindsets, and thought processes that shape peoples' behavior, to the reimagining of systems of injustice, these young authors meditate on the many restrictions they face--and the ways they push beyond them to feel true freedom.

Описание: 826 Valencia has supported San Francisco students through free writing, tutoring, and publishing programs for fifteen years. While growing in spurts and striving for the perfect mixtape, we asked our community what fifteen means to them. Some writers here recount recent formative moments, some imagine their future jobs or perfect quincea era, and some look back on this weird, wonderful age and share what they've learned or unlearned since. If you've ever been fifteen, will be fifteen, or are fifteen, this book is for you.
