SynopsisMore than 70 poems and essays by boys, ages 12-18, collected from around the country.Allows the disenfranchised, the misunderstood, the stereotyped, the feared, the villianized -- the adolescent boy -- a chance to speak and be heard above the din of news stories, magazine articles, sociological analyses, and talk shows that attempt to dissect and sum up his character.Like Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, this book speaks straight to the heart on issues and emotions kids grapple with every day. Some of the topics included are masculinity; sexuality; relationships with family, friends, or lovers; sports; self- silence; school; hair; clothes; music; poverty; adoption; loss; confusion; addiction; parenthood; dreams and goals.Honest, hard-hitting, funny, poignant, sad, angry, tragic, strong, celebratory, optimistic, hopeful.After reading this book, you will find a complexity and fragility in teenage boys that you may not have previously recognized. May this book help you to see more clearly and listen more carefully.
