Rattle Young Poets Anthology
The annual RYPA returns for another year of delightful and insightful poetry that happens to be written by young people. This is not a collection just for kids—these are missives to adults from the next generation, confronting big topics with fresh eyes and a child-like spontaneity. Thirty-six poets age 16 or younger contributed to this volume. Order your copy and see why the RYPA is always the highlight of our year as publishers.
