The Struggle and Emotional Labor of the Teenage Immigrant Showcased in New YA Novel
Penguin Random House
As an educator, I'm always on the lookout for fresh and exciting voices in YA. I've also made it a personal mission to find more diverse books to better understand students from all cultural backgrounds. The publishing industry as a whole still has a lot of work to do in order to bring more exclusivity to the reading experience, but a recently published addition has me optimistic about the future of YA.
Before you call her those names...

Oftentimes, it's difficult to explain just why poetry affects us the way it does. It's easy to say it sounds or reads nicely, or that there's a line or phrase that resonates with the reader, but it's another thing to truly understand the complexity and detail that goes into writing a poem. The same can be said for trying to understand a person from a different background. While it may be easy to assume certain things about the person in general, it's easy to miss the elements that brought them to their current state and to their identity. And the best way to truly understand is to let them reveal themselves to you in their own unique voice.

Apprehension, As Told Through Bird StoriesBy Joanna Patzig  And the good south wind still blew behind, But no sweet bird did follow, Nor any day for food or play Came to the mariner's hollo! - The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Samuel Coleridge One day, I think it was in June, something hit the back of my head out of nowhere. Scared, I turned around and a brown song bird was right there, hovering over me, frantically squawking and thrashing its wings. It took me a second to look away, and then I was running. It chased me, screaming, probably ready to peck my eyes out. I really sprinted, faster than I’ve run in a long time, until I was sure I’d lost it. I walked the rest of the way to work quickly, frequently looking over my shoulder. I had to take a moment to try and put myself back together in the restroom, fix my ponytail. As I thought it over I remembered hearing her chicks before the impact. I guess I must have gotten close to the bitch's nest. I can still feel the weight of her body crashing into my hair. |
