“Shout” by by Laurie Halse Anderson

Posted on March 20, 2019 by M. Allen

Bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about, and advocates for, survivors of sexual assault. Now, inspired by her fans and enraged by how little in our culture has changed since her groundbreaking novel Speak was first published twenty years ago, she has written the poetry memoir Shout.

Speak was first published in 1999 and its graphic novel version was published in early 2018. Speak: The Graphic Novel was a 2019 TRCA nominee.
