Through poetry we tell the world who we are, where we're from, what we love, what we think, how we feel, and why we hope.

With a foreword by hip-hop artist and celebrated urban poet Common, Tell the World is a stunning collection of poems by teens who have taken part in workshops run by WritersCorps, a national alliance of literary arts programs for youth.

Their words represent the thoughts, hopes, and dreams of teens everywhere, offering both insight and empathy.

This essential young adult poetry collection captures the raw, honest, and hopeful experience of coming of age:

• Spoken Word Poetry: With the energy and rhythm of hip-hop, these poems are charged with an honesty that demands to be read aloud.
• Coming of Age: Navigating the complexities of identity, home, love, and loss, these young writers map the unforgettable journey of growing up.
• Written By Teens, For Teens: A raw and unfiltered look into the lives, dreams, and fears of teenagers, captured in their own powerful words from the celebrated WritersCorps program.
• Inspirational and Empowering: Find courage, empathy, and hope in a collection that proves the most powerful voice you can find is your own.

Writers Corps was founded in 1994 in three American urban centers—San Francisco, California, Washington, D.C., and the Bronx, New York—with a mission to transform lives through the written word. Since its inception, the organization has helped forty thousand children and teenagers improve their writing skills and express their ideas and experiences. WritersCorps has published two collections of teen poems with HarperTeen: Paint Me Like I Am and Tell the World.
