Abstract
Georgia Heard spent a week with students in New Mexico, encouraging their search for “self-portrait poetry”—poetry in which they saw themselves. She witnessed courage, pain, tragedy, and hope in the choices and writing of those struggling students, and came to learn that at least one among them had found a life-changing outlet.
