Radiant Beings

None of us are perfect, but we are radiant beings nevertheless. Inside this book you will find poetry about love, self, and justice. You will find several erasure-style poems including black-out, community-written, and concrete poetry with the powerful nationally recognized "I come from" refrain. You will find echoes of the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and slam poets from across the five boroughs of New York City. And most importantly, you will find young writers expressing their inner radiance. We hope this helps you find yours as well. Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit 826NYC, a nonprofit organization encouraging the exploration of endless possibilities through the power of writing. This book is also available as a downloadable interactive PDF.
