Adventures Within Another Kao Kalia Yang

"I no longer have my most cherished cultural artifact, but its story lives on inside of me. Today I share it with you, along with the voices of these young writers, so that you, too, can hold close and remember the things that made you who you are in the story of your life."

-from the foreword by Kao Kalia Yang, award-winning author of The Latehomecomer and The Song Poet.


Adventures Within Another is a collection of writing by ninth-grade students from Como Park Senior High School who spent six months crafting these original works with guidance from the Mid-Continent Oceanographic Institute. This anthology spotlights the next generation of writers whose poetry and prose explore the people, places, and things shaping their burgeoning personal and cultural identities.
