"While a majority of the poems are light in tone, a few of the
students are heartbreakingly honest in describing the reality of
their lives and nation. A portrait of the teenaged poet accompanies
each poem. Illustrated by Rogi1/2, these striking portraits give
each piece a heartbeat and soul. They provide the reader with the
opportunity to contemplate not only the words but also the writer.
Haiti, My Country is a deeply poignant poetry collection that will
introduce young readers to both an unfamiliar land and their own
potential as poets.
Highly Recommended."
