Rattle Young Poets Anthology

 

The now-annual RYPA returns with another delightful and insightful collection of outstanding poems that happen to be written by young people. This is not a collection for kids—these are missives to adults from the next generation, confronting big topics with fresh eyes and a child-like spontaneity. Thirty-six poets age 15 or younger contributed to this slimmer, 64-page volume—order your copy and see why the RYPA is always the highlight of our year.
