Another Way: Poetry and Prose by High School Students in Jefferson County, Texas
Edited by Kate Williams
This vital collection of poetry and prose provides us with Another Way of seeing Southeast Texas -- through the eyes of its youth. These voices are ones of survival, resilience, and hope in the face of some of the worst natural disasters in the nation's history. Read heartfelt, first-hand accounts of surviving Hurricane Harvey, living on the front lines of climate change, and enduring systemic inequality. "There has to be another way," poet Sakara Harris writes in the titular poem, and indeed, these young authors can lead us there with the power of their words.
