Strong, cutting-edged wordplay and vivid emotional imagery

Collaboratively compiled and edited by Mark Pawlak, Dick Lourie, Robert Hershon, and Ron Schreiber, Shooting The Rat: Outstanding Poems And Stories By High School Writers is the third volume in a special series of anthologies collecting brief yet memorable works by bright young minds. Strong, cutting-edged wordplay and vivid emotional imagery characterize the energy of these unforgettable pieces. Also very highly recommended are volumes one and two in this series of quality story and poetry anthologies by high school writers: Smart Like Me: High School Age Writing From The 60s To Now (0914610589,) and Bullseye: Stories And Poems By Outstanding High School Writers (1882413121).
