Wow, that was amazing - I almost started crying by the time it got to 3 minutes, the "it keeps hurting, I hurt but your book cracked my shell" bit.
Yay! Count me among the big fans of Speak. Laurie inspires me with her willingness to reveal truth to her readers.
Whoops! This is Holly! Logged in as rgz. ;)
Beautiful. Powerful. Speak. Listen. I wish SPEAK was required reading for every single 8th grader. Every last one of them.
Beautiful. Thanks readergirls and especially Laurie, for sharing.
This gives me chills. Amazing.
That is the most goosebumpy moment of my day, by a long shot. Congratulations to Laurie on this exciting anniversary. What a book.
WOW.I'm reading WINTERGIRLS right now and I have chills all over again.
Wow what a powerful poem, I loved the Words, the thoughts, the emotions. I am so glad your writers inspired you to write this poem..
