It Takes Everyone: Mendocino County Youth Anthology 2019-20
edited by Blake More
This is an anthology of youth poetry written during California Poets In The Schools Poet-Teacher residencies throughout Mendocino County K-12 schools, during the 2019-20 school year. This collection featvers a wide range of age groups and communities from within the county who worked with Mendocino County Poet Teachers Bill Churchill, PJ Flowers, Jasper Henderson, Hunter Gagnon, Dan Levension, Karen Lewis, Blake More, Dan Roberts and Will Staple. This project was made possible thanks to the Mendocino Office of Education, the California Arts Council Arts In the Schools Program, GASP, and California Poets In the Schools.
From the title poem:
It Takes Everyone
The change in our world
is not going to just happen
we need to work
and try and push ourselves
to heal the earth
before many more are injured
and some are dead.
Let’s all give a helping hand
and turn this world around.
When will we realize that it takes one
and everyone to make the change.
