Angst! by Karen Tom
Every day thousands of teenage girls log onto a unique web site called Planet Kiki.com. They come for the gossip, the advice, the beauty tips. But mostly they come for each other. Seventy-five percent of Planet Kiki's content is created by its audience, and the most compelling chunk of that content is the poetry. Raw, soul-baring, outspoken, unfiltered, direct - here are the voices of teenage girls worldwide at their most expressive. ANGST! compiles the best of Planet Kiki's poetry in an edgy anthology on the agony and the ecstasy of being a teenager. Illustrated in the funky full-colour style of a 'zine, ANGST! covers the full spectrum of the girls' experience: the struggles with falling in love, being unpopular, breaking up, feeling alienated, searching for life's meaning, bonding with friends, even the awkwardness of not having the right clothes. Uplifting, commiserating, humorous and always passionate about telling the truth, these are poems that speak from the teenage heart, to the teenage heart. Following the poems is a Poetry 101 primer, complete with tips on subjects, forms, rhyming and technique, plus brief bios of the poets featured.
