Respect the Mic: Celebrating 20 Years of Poetry from a Chicagoland High School by Franny Choi, Dan Sully Sullivan, Peter Kahn, Hanif Abdurraqib

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This poetry collection from the students and alumni of Oak Park and River Forest High School is such a fantastic look at the complexity and breath of experiences from the Chicago area. I read this on Libby because it was mentioned in Spoken Word by Joshua Bennett. It was a great end of the year read to round out 2023.
