A Mourning Mother, a Group of Girls and the Power of Rehabilitative Poetry

After the death of her child, a grief-stricken psychotherapist volunteers as a poetry teacher at a residential treatment facility for “delinquent” girls. Here, their mutual support nourish and enrich each other, though not without large quantities of drama and recalcitrance. For fans of the acclaimed movies Stand and Deliver and The Freedom Writers Diary comes I Am Not a Juvenile Delinquent: How Poetry Changed a Group of At-Risk Young Women.

Due to the current health crisis, the launch of I Am Not A Juvenile Delinquent will be hosted by Oblong Books via Zoom. This FREE event will be a conversation with Sharon about her newest book. REGISTER HERE.
