More about the book
<b>A searing poetic memoir and call to action from the bestselling and award-winning author of <i>Speak</i>, Laurie Halse Anderson!</b> Bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about, and advocates for, survivors of sexual assault. Now, inspired by her fans and enraged by how little in our culture has changed since her groundbreaking novel <i>Speak</i> was first published twenty years ago, she has written a poetry memoir that is as vulnerable as it is rallying, as timely as it is timeless. In free verse, Anderson shares reflections, rants, and calls to action woven between deeply personal stories from her life that she's never written about before. Searing and soul-searching, this important memoir is a denouncement of our society's failures and a love letter to all the people with the courage to say #metoo and #timesup, whether aloud, online, or only in their own hearts. <i>SHOUT</i> speaks truth to power in a loud, clear voice-- and once you hear it, it is impossible to ignore.
