April is National Poetry Month. For teens, poetry can provide a powerful creative outlet for their growing emotions and experiences. The writing style helps them experience new vocabulary, experiment with creative language, and invoke critical thinking. Here are some of the best poetry books available in our collection for High School students.
This anthology helps teen girls explore a very formative time of their lives through poetry. Curated specifically with young women in mind, the writing will help them explore themselves and embrace everything they are becoming. It shows how poetry can be a powerful tool of expressing empathy, growth, and understanding.
This poetry book brings teens along on a journey of love, loss, and self-discovery. In her debut book, Sophia Thakur draws on her personal experiences as a mixed-race woman navigating her identity, relationships, and finding her place in this world. The emotional poetry will resonate with young readers and inspire them to think outside of their experiences.
This book of poetry by Laurie Halse Anderson is unflinchingly honest for survivors of abuse and assault. Tackling an important topic in a way younger readers can comfortably understand, it calls its readers to action through reflections, rants, and personal stories about society’s failures to protect girls.
