Beskrivning

A unique YA anthology of poetry, prose, and artwork written by youth for youth, that addresses the complexities of navigating teenage life in an increasingly changing and complex world.This mixed-media anthology takes readers on an emotional journey through the highs and lows of being a teen in these turbulent and often challenging times. Beautifully designed by Sy Rohoman alongside poignant artwork from Cleopatria Peterson, the book showcases poetry, memoir, art, photos, and essays, exploring racism, mental health, substance use, and difficult relationships. In the process, the artists show how they have made their own way despite societal and personal challenges. Let Me Be Honest demonstrates the power of these young artists’ voices while also acting as a balm and road map for young readers who are experiencing similar circumstances.
