Publisher's Summary
A New York Times best seller 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!
Best-selling 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 20 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-listen 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.
What the critics say
"In this powerful memoir told in free verse, Anderson delves into her past.... Her potent words and willingness to shout her message are proof of the soundness of that advice." (Publishers Weekly)
"A captivating, powerful read about clawing your way out of trauma, reclaiming your body, and undoing lifetimes of lessons in order to use your voice as the weapon it is. Fervent and deafening." (Booklist, starred review)
"Readers new to Anderson will find this accessible. It's a strong example of how lived experience shapes art and an important book for the #MeToo movement." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
