COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Foster Care Poetry submitted by sdunav on July 1, 2013, 5:02pm A story in poetry (free verse and some epistolary verses), from the point of view of an 11 y.o. African-American boy in some unnamed inner city. It's pretty good, though sad in parts.
Nice submitted by cbernhar on June 23, 2015, 5:09pm Awesome poetry, great format, and it makes you think a lot.
