Carry On: Poetry by Young Immigrants

Carry On: Poetry by Young Immigrants

Booktalk: This #OwnVoices poetry anthology written by young newcomers to Canada began in a high school in Outremont, Quebec, where author and poet Simon Boulerice conducted creative-writing workshops for young newcomers to Canada. As the students began writing, their poems gave voice to their reflections on leaving family, friends, and countries of origin to make new homes and connections in their new home.

Wilderness

Wilderness
by John Muir (Author) and Giovanni Manna (Illustrator)

Booktalk: A collection of some of John Muir’s most memorable and inspirational words reminds us of a shared responsibility and inescapable bond–that all inhabitants of this planet “travel the Milky Way together.”

Snippet: The sun shines not on us but in us.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
