My students are amazing. It's such a joy to educate them despite the nuances that comes with teaching. Afterall, they are just like students anywhere in the world. This is not based on assumptions but facts untainted in their voices.

This year the students at the North Miami Senior High School poetry club decided to share their expressions publicly. The idea is to tell their story in their own way, shape, and form.

Students were allowed to express themselves freely on whatever topic or issue interest them in poetry. Hence, they projected their voices. The authors of this book are ninth through twelfth grade students who are members of 'Broken Pieces' the poetry club.
