a young poet's call to justice

A collection of poems by women that reflects the joy and passion in the fight for social justice, tackling topics from discrimination to empathy, and acceptance to speaking out

Activism, everywhere -- The ability to be -- In the next -- The good body -- Instructions on listening to the trees -- I've been there before -- What's in a name? -- Gift of grace -- Say the names -- In between, there is light -- Unfurling people -- What is an intersection? -- Teeth dance with silver -- Orchard of we -- Blown-out stars whisper about justice -- Amari explains a frown to her little brother -- What's in my toolbox? -- Right to -- Rock the boat -- We make a fist -- The poet's pen -- A me-shaped box -- We carry our roots -- Woke
