Description

For Chicago's Oak Park and River Forest High School's Spoken Word Club, there is one phrase that reigns supreme: Respect the Mic.

It's been the club's call to arms since its inception in 1999.

As its founder Peter Kahn says, 'It's a call of pride and history and tradition and hope.'This vivid collection of poetry and prose -- curated by award-winning and bestselling poets Hanif Abdurraqib, Franny Choi, Peter Kahn, and Dan 'Sully' Sullivan -- illuminates just that, uplifting the incredible legacy this community has cultivated.

Among the dozens of current students and alumni, Respect the Mic features work by NBA champion Iman Shumpert, National Youth Poet Laureate Kara Jackson, National Youth Poet Laureate Kara Jackson, National Student Poet Natalie Richardson, comedian Langston Kerman, and more.
