Like all great jokes, this one is dead serious." -Eve L. Ewing, award-winning poet, playwright, scholar, and sociologist For Chicago's Oak Park and River Forest High School's Spoken Word Club, there is one phrase that reigns supreme: Respect the Mic. It's been the club's call to arms since its inception in 1999. As its founder Peter Kahn says, "It's a call of pride and history and tradition and hope." This vivid new collection of poetry and prose -- curated by award-winning and bestselling poets Hanif Abdurraqib, Franny Choi, Peter Kahn, and Dan "Sully" Sullivan -- illuminates just that, uplifting the incredible legacy this community has cultivated. Among the dozens of current students and alumni, Respect the Mic features work by NBA champion Iman Shumpert, National Youth Poet Laureate Kara Jackson, National Youth Poet Laureate Kara Jackson, National Student Poet Natalie Richardson, comedian Langston Kerman, and more.In its pages, you hear the sprawling echoes of students, siblings, lovers, new parents, athletes, entertainers, scientists, and more --all sharing a deep appreciation for the power of storytelling. A celebration of the past, a balm for the present, and a blueprint for the future, Respect the Mic offers a tender, intimate portrait of American life, and conveys how in a world increasingly defined by separation, poetry has the capacity to bind us together.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6238995</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6238995</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6238995109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Celebrating 20 Years of Poetry From A Chicagoland High School</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593507896/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Notebook Keeper]]></title><description><![CDATA[Based on true events, this inspiring story follows a mama and her daughter who are denied entry at the U.S. border, and must find the refugee in charge of "the notebook," an unofficial ledger of those waiting to cross into the U.S.Before, the sun drenched the yard. Our neighbor's laughter danced in the streets. Now, the streets are quiet. Papa is gone, and we are no longer safe here. We are leaving, too. In this moving picture book, Noemi and Mama flee their home in Mexico, and head for the US border. There, they look for "The Notebook Keeper"-- the person in charge of a ledger for those waiting to cross, and they add their names to the book. As the days turn into weeks, and hope dwindles, the little girl looks for kindness around her-- and inside herself. One day, when the Notebook Keeper's own name is called to cross, Noemi and her Mama are chosen--for the generosity in their hearts-- to take her place.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6327556</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6327556</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Briseño, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6327556109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Story of Kindness From the Border</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593585764/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
