Listening to the Trees

This anthology is a collection of poetry written by 10th grade students at the High School of Fashion Industries in Manhattan. After studying works by poets such as Audre Lorde, Lucille Clifton, Danez Smith, and Mahogany Browne, these young writers challenged themselves to turn their passion for social justice into poetry. From exploring the personal as political to demanding systemic change, these authors fights wholeheartedly for their beliefs. You can get your own copy of Listening to the Trees at the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. or online here. Many thanks to Ciara Cordasco for designing this book.
