It's been 10 years since the last book in the Teen Ink series Written in the Dirt was published. Now, a whole new batch of teen writers has emerged with their own unique voices. Leave This Song Behind features the best poetry submitted by those writers to Teen Ink over the last five years.

The pieces in this book were chosen because they were so powerful that they stood out from the rest. Teen Ink editors took a deep look into each poem's strengths then divided Leave This Song Behind into seven sections based on the poetic techniques or qualities that moved them most. Vivid sensory details made some poems shine; others caught their attention with simple, sparse language. Still others were chosen because of their thoughtful use of form; compelling stories; strong figurative language; unexpected connections and wit; and fresh writing about familiar topics.

Dig in and let these brave young voices capture your heart and mind with their passion, their pain, and their amazing poetry!

A Beautiful Collection

Reviewed in the United States on 27 August 2020

I started writing poetry as a teenager, so a collection of poems written by teenagers intrigued me. This book is WONDERFUL. The poetry is diverse because it is a collection of voices, each individual with their own emotions and experiences that come through in their writing. I loved seeing the different perspectives. I also enjoyed that in the back of the book their is a section that lets each person explain what inspired their writing. When we are unaware of the situation being written of, we are left to our own devices and interpretation, which is one of the beautiful things about poetry. But getting to read what inspired the rawness of each piece was like a bonus for me, because sometimes knowing the real story helps us to identify with the author better or make certain connections we may not have otherwise. This is a beautiful collection that I will be re-reading for years to come.

Received a year after ordering and it is a wet mess.

I was having my house painted and the painters found this prime pack on the side of my house. When I opened the book was sopping wet and moldy. I ordered it over a year ago and didn't notice that I hadn't received it for my daughter who is an avid reader. It is unusable.
