Uprooted from his family,
surrounded by the unfamiliar,
Lonnie couldn’t feel more alone.
But this year, his class is learning to write poetry.
Lonnie’s verses take him
from his foster home
to the classroom,
into the streets,
and back to a time when
his family was all together.
As Lonnie finds his voice,
you’ll discover how poetry can bring you
closer to others and yourself.
