Voices of the Future

by Etan Thomas · 2013

+ Want to read

Traditionally, mainstream commentary affords little space for younger voices to address the many challenges that face society. In Voices of the Future, NBA star Etan Thomas has created a unique opportunity for young poets to publicly express their thoughts on subjects ranging from the Trayvon Martin case to the Occupy Wall Street movement. With urgent and inspired poetry, Voices of the Future definitively challenges the myth that young people have little to say about today's struggles.
