Young Writers on Their Experiences of Immigration

Hear from some of the writers featured in this brand new anthology that centers on the immigration narratives of young people between the ages of 11 and 24 hailing from Australia, Bangladesh, China, France, Ghana, Iraq, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Sierra Leone, the U.S., Vietnam, and beyond. This collection’s rich and brilliant essays, poems, and comics explore the possibilities and challenges of seeking and finding “home” in a new place. Each anthology entry challenges perceptions of migration and identity while compelling its readers to view these stories through a lens imbued with open-mindedness, compassion, dignity, and wonder.

What You Need to Know About Me was edited by Cincinnati and Mercantile Library Poet Laureate Yalie Kamara. Copies of the book will be available for sales and signing.
