 Courtesy of Teens Read Too September 23, 2008
WE ARE QUIET, WE ARE LOUD is an anthology that claims to feature the best young writers and artists in America, chosen by David Levithan from the winners of the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. It includes numerous short stories, essays, poems, and other works of art, all created by teens.
While who the "best" writers and artists in America are is debatable, it's safe to say that each teen featured in this book has extraordinary talent. They've created flowing prose, heart-wrenching poetry, and shocking photos. The emotion that comes through in the writing is undeniable, whether it's despair, longing, hope, trust, or love.
This is, by far, one of the best anthologies I've read. While some topics may be too intense for certain readers, I suggest that every mature teen pick up this title when they get the chance.

 Quiet, Loud, & Somewhere In Between. September 5, 2008
The thing about anthologies like this one is that you will love some entries, like some entries, hate some entries, and vote uncertain on others. There are a lot of great stories, essays, poems, and works of art in this collection. It's really impressive what young writers and artists can do & it inspired me personally, to see the range of talent. Though some of the stories were either not outstanding or overdone - as a teen, I can safely say that many of us are melodramatic without meaning to be - this collection is recommended.
A few of my favorites were the poems: No More Autumn Poems by Alexander Foreman, Womanscrew by Lauren Stokes, and pray for deliverance when the ambulance comes by Frankie Romano; the stories: The Place Between Life and Death is Sometimes Called Love by Jillian Ehrisman, Lost Boy by Audrey Wallis, and The Last Soft-Serve by Blair Hurley; the art: Pierced by Eric Gronneberg, Rhythm by Brandon Foy, and Static Resitance by Hannah Hurd.
The essays were all interesting for different reasons and covered a whole lot of issues from anorexia to vacations to patriots to coming out. All in all, this is an impressive collection. Go David Levithan, for editing it, and the young writers & artists who made it possible.
[ I also posted most of this on Goodreads, in case it looks familiar. ]
