Review Quotes: "How moving and exhilarating to read poem after poem, prose piece after prose piece, that show us what our future generation thinks and feels about the complex subjects of race and identity! There are the rich and personal stories of being light-skinned, of the challenges of coming to America from Ghana, of microaggressions, of stereotypes, of love poems with racial complexities, of denying one's Middle Eastern origins, and so many more. Time after time, these young gifted writers, who are arrestingly creative, searingly intelligent, and ultimately hopeful, will be our saviors."--Victoria Chang, editor of Asian American Poetry: The Next Generation
