Inside Out There

"e;We're living through a historic time."e; The students at Michele Clark High School have heard this phrase over and over in an era of a global pandemic, political and social changes, and remote learning. Throughout Inside Out There, these students document their experiences during quarantine through blackout poems, journal entries, homages to contemporary artists, and more. This collection sets out to answer what it is like to be a teen right now. Collected works from the 2021 Young Authors Book Program. Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit 826CHI, a non-profit writing, tutoring, and publishing center dedicated to amplifying the voices of Chicago youth.
