A New York Times bestseller and one of 2019's best-reviewed books, a poetic memoir and call to action from the award-winning author of Speak , Laurie Halse Anderson! 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 a poetry memoir that is as vulnerable as it is rallying, as timely as it is timeless. In free verse, Anderson shares reflections, rants, and calls to action woven between deeply personal stories from her life that she's never written about before. Described as "powerful," "captivating," and "essential" in the nine starred reviews it's received, this must-read memoir is being hailed as one of 2019's best books for teens and adults. A denouncement of our society's failures and a love letter to all the people with the courage to say #MeToo and #TimesUp, whether aloud, online, or only in their own hearts, SHOUT speaks truth to power in a loud, clear voice-- and once you hear it, it is impossible to ignore.
Laurie Halse Anderson is a New York Times bestselling author whose writing spans young readers, teens, and new adults. Combined, her books have sold more than eight million copies. She has been twice nominated for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. Two of her books, Speak and Chains , were National Book Award finalists, and Chains was short-listed for the prestigious Carnegie Medal. Laurie was selected by the American Library Association for the 2009 Margaret A. Edwards Award and has been honored for her battles for intellectual freedom by the National Coalition Against Censorship and the National Council of Teachers of English. In addition to combating censorship, Laurie regularly speaks about the need for diversity in publishing and is a member of RAINN’s National Leadership Council. She lives in Philadelphia, where she enjoys cheesesteaks while she writes.

One of the best reads of the decade for women.

This powerful memoir in verse made me gasp out loud numerous times with a gut punch of truth and understanding. I felt seen while reading it. The truth and urgency of it hit me really hard. I expected it to have great emotional impact knowing the power of Speak and that this is the author's courageous own story of surviving rape and living in the #MeToo era; what I didn't expect was how much emotional weight the verses about her childhood and her parents' dysfunction would carry, and how perfectly she could articulate the feeling of alien otherness, the "whiff of disaster" that I felt as a child in a home with alcoholism, abuse, and trauma. I've been reeling from the emotional impact of it for a few days, as her words dredged up an intensity of feeling that I had long buried. I read it first, and then listened to the audiobook, and both were excellent. I so appreciated hearing the poems in the poet's own voice, especially as she plays with language, but I also got a lot out of reading them differently in my own voice. I wish every man in America would read it and thank Laurie Halse Anderson from the bottom of my heart for writing it.

A powerful , heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting memoir like poetry anthology. Beautiful words and phrases abound, but at times the subject matter is dark

Really enjoyed this poetry book, it's very powerful and has an important message.

I missed my train stop, I was so engrossed. As an educator, and frankly, as a human, I have always enjoyed the profound work of Laurie Halse Anderson. I occasionally check-in to see if she has written anything new and was delighted to see Shout when I looked yesterday. I ordered it immediately for kindle. Her memoir brings to light the impact of microaggressions, rape, family dysfunction, and, most notably, the power of resiliency. Her story is one not to be missed, giving voice to the rising #metoo revolution. As a long-time fan, familiar with all of her books, reading the origin of her work shed new light and I plan to read each book again. You do not have to have read her other books to grow as a person from Shout, but definitely, plan on reading Speak.
