 I Am is a
collection of poems by teens who have taken part in writing programs run
 by a
national nonprofit organization called WritersCorps. To read the words 
of these
young people is to hear the diverse voices of teenagers everywhere. 
Included is a foreword by acclaimed poet Nikki Giovanni, an essay from 
Kevin Powell,
another poet associated with WritersCorps, and writing tips from 
WritersCorps
instructors. WritersCorps was started in 1994 to help at-risk youth in 
three
American urban centers: San Francisco, Washington, DC, and New York City
 (the
Bronx). Thousands of children and teenagers have since benefited from 
finding
creative expression through writing.</span></strong></p>
