MEDIA REVIEWS
A life-affirming and transformative collection, curated by a huge talent -- Aisha Bushby, author of A Pocketful of Stars
Our testers hadn't heard of slam poetry before and, if they're honest, were a little hesitant that a book of poetry could speak to them, but their preconceptions were soon proved wrong and they were blown away by the powerful prose in this book. Buy for your teenager, buy for yourself - basically buy a copy for everyone you know and introduce them to the incredible talent of voices that urgently need to be heard. -- Sarah Dawson * The Independent *
