From the Publisher

When I initiated this book series with "In Our Own Words: Generation X Poetry", I had no clue about what would follow. Since then, there has been a steady flow of emails and letters, some just thank you's for publishing this series, but thousands of others submissions. From a generation that wants the "true story" to be told, their story, the realities of their world. A generation that feels itself grossly manipulated and stereotyped by the media and marketing powers.

It is doubtful this will be the last volume. More and more are discovering this series, inspiring us to develop an extensive website, and webring. My feelings are - "let this generation speak!" A generation that has much to say. A generation that is capable of expressing itself with disarming honesty.

not merely an anthology of literary merit, but a nice collection of poets from around the world, each writer in their own way telling you about what it is to be a gen-x-er....get it....
