Minimal wear to cover. Pages clean and binding tight. shelf wear. bumped edges. Paperback. Do not read this book, unless you want to know what real humans are thinking. If that's what you're looking for, read this collection of freshly grown writing on belonging, identity, and what lies ahead. Taking poetic license to express things in ways that make AI fear it will be replaced by humans, the stories in these pages reflect the here and now: a collective urgency as the pandemic recedes, the world overheats, wars overwhelm, and the national discourse is conducted in a language far from love. In these pieces, cooking unites families, supermarkets become places of connection and adventure, neighbors evolve into mermaids as the sea levels rise, and every month nails are trimmed to cut down memory. The smallest gifts in life become impossible blessings of gratitude. There is a sense of battle with the norms and an understanding that things are not right, but they will be. This anthology is evidence of a future worth fighting for in which the long tradition of building community through the written word is upheld throughout the highs, lows, and everything in between. Girls Write Now is the first writing and mentoring organization for girls, and a multigenerational creative incubator for female and gender expansive writers from over thirty states across the nation. For over twenty-five years, this nationally award-winning nonprofit has been amplifying transformative stories that break down the barriers of gender, race, age, and poverty, while ranking among the nation's highest for social-emotional growth in young people. Serving as a pipeline of diverse talent into companies across industries from publishing and media to tech, finance, and beyond, Girls Write Now is shaping culture, impacting businesses and creating change. "These are the voices of humility, resilience and determination. Here & Now is not just a compilation of words from today's generation, it is a personal look into the hearts and souls of our future." -ANNA GOMEZ, CFO of Mischief and author.…
