This book does exactly that! Be careful - always read the poems prior to giving out to students. There are sensitive issues addressed with certain poems; they are well-worth the read. and my students enjoyed having the more modern poetry to analyze and experience..0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... big fan of the show on HBO you will love this bookBy jeanetteIf you were a big fan of the show on HBO you will love this book!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. bum rushingBy s.r.b.bum rush the page will be hailed as a classic in the years to come. Combining established poets like Amiri Baraka and Sonia Sanchez with up and coming poets like Shaggy Flores. Mariposa and Thien Bao Phi. The subject matter is broad and the chapter titles read like a poem itself. From the foward by Sonia Sanchezyou know the ride will be better. every openign poem of each chapter will draw you in. asking for more. wanting you to write a poem. making you love the poem and understanding that poetry isnt only shakespeare and his sonnets. Bum Rush the Page will live in cirriculums for years to come. From Beau Sias "Open Letter to the Entertainment Industry" to Bonafide Rojas"s "The Creed of a Graffiti Writer". these poems reflect poetry in the 21st century. Tony Medina and Louis Reyes Rivera have done justice to opening peoples eyes on what poetry will always be. the voice of the people.
