Girls Write Now mentee Amalie reads her poem "My Name is Not My Sky" at the GWN 10th Anniversary Spring Reading, 2008. Amalie says this about her piece: "This video is not enough to express what it is like for teenagers such as myself, who find ourselves alone with our stories ignored, our tears underrepresented and our hearts uncertain of their power. If you know nothing else, remember 'my name is not my sky,' I will be more than where I come from."
