Backpack Blues: Ignite the Fire Within
Told in the voices of a class of high school seniors introduced by Marisol Garcia, this award–winning book celebrates the resourcefulness it takes to make it in the classrooms, halls, and locker rooms of contemporary schools. Through a multicultural collection of poetic monologues, Backpack Blues: Ignite the Fire Within gives voice to the anxiety, heartbreaks, and dreams of students and their English teacher, creating a snow-globe miniature of a twenty-first century high school. It reminds us no one ever leaves high school totally behind. Part II of the book provides guidelines for wannabe poets.
