Press release

Anytime is a tough time to be a young person, but this time in history is a real sh%t show. Young people are coming of age in a time of open racism, hate, and xenophobia in the streets and from our leaders. Meanwhile, they are trying to navigate sex, their parents, their connection to their culture, and a world that just doesn't seem to take them seriously.  "22 Under 22" is an anthology of fiction, essay, and poetry by 22 people under the age of 22 speaking up about what they believe, what they want, and what keeps them going. In other words, what's on their minds?
