A New York Moments bestseller and among 2019’s best-reviewed books, a poetic memoir and proactive approach from your award-winning author of Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson!

Bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes on the subject of, and advocates for, survivors of intimate assault. Now, inspired by her fans and enraged by how small in our culture has changed since her groundbreaking book Speak was initially published two decades ago, she has created a poetry memoir that’s about SHOUT as susceptible as it is rallying, as timely since it is certainly timeless. In free verse, Anderson shares reflections, rants, and calls to actions woven between deeply personal tales from her lifestyle that she’s by no means discussed before. Described as ‘powerful,’ ‘fascinating,’ and ‘essential’ in the nine starred reviews it’s received, this must-read memoir is being hailed as you of 2019’s best books for teens and adults. A denouncement of our society’s failures and a like letter to all or any the people with the courage to state #MeToo and #TimesUp, whether aloud, on-line, or only within their personal hearts, SHOUT talks truth to power in a loud, clear tone of voice– as soon as you hear it, it really is impossible to disregard.
