I've read the whole series now...Poetry Speaks (for grownups)...Poetry Speaks (for kids)...and, now, this one, Poetry Speaks (for teens). Some of my favorites are here, including Langston Hughes' “Dreams” and “I Loved My Friend” and Maya Angelou's “Still I Rise”; I honestly cannot imagine a collection for teens without these poems. But lots of new surprises here and that is always welcome.
I'll be passing this book on to a librarian friend at the junior high who will add this book to her collection and share it with teens at her school.
