Through extensive workshops with teaching artists, students find their voice and use art and poetry to express longing, loss, and hope connected to their experiences of forced migration and immigration. At times harrowing and heartbreaking, these poems and self-portraits are stark reminders of the horror of war, violence, poverty, environmental degradation, and injustice, but they are also a call for peace, hope, and a brighter future for all who leave home and arrive in a new country.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Educators around the globe will find inspiration in this project. -- Vicki Palmquist Editor, Bookology<br><br>Forget the chatter, forget the politicians, people need to read these!! -- Naomi Shihab Nye, Young People's Poet Laureate of the Poetry Foundation<br><br>I took nourishment here.
