About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

I wrote a poem when I was 10 and it's in this and it sucks.

I had lost my 1994 edition of my book. It was one thing that made me so proud as a little girl that one of my poems was published in this book. I was not a little girl who felt valued at all unfortunately. Life was just too busy being raised by a struggling single mother with 2 children. Now at 40, I have began writing seriously instead of just here and there. I have so much past hurt along with triumphs. I am seriously wanting to share these events in order to bring awareness and encouragement to others. I realize that reading is one of the most valuable tools we have to help us when we are at our weakest and sometimes just don't have the will to do anything.We go to the Authors and stories that provide positivity if our lives seem like a negative and draining place.

I say all of that to say this- I was very disappointed that when I ordered 2 copies here recently my poem was not in either of them. I really wish I could find this first powerful poem to show my son. He is 15 now, and I want it to encourage him. I was certain ot was in the 1994 edition, but I ordered '95 as well and it isn't in it either. If anyone reads this message with the edition please contact me if you happen to find ' The Heavenly Walk ' by - Kesha Leigh Cameron OR Kesha Cameron ( age 12 years old ). Thank you and God bless you and your children.

Just a note: I have the 1995 edition but I can't find it on here for some reason. This book mainly consists of silly poems written by little kids so if you can't find the humor it's best not to read this one. There are a few really insightful and well written gems though! You just have to find them. It's a really great book to keep on hand to show a friend/family member a silly cute poem at a party or something.

I was published in this book as a teenager. Lately, I have been reading these poems, boy do they strike a whole new chord now.

I was published in this the year 1994. I was 14. Had to give it 5 stars. There are some amazing young poets out there with great potencial.

My son and several of his classmates have poems in the 2005 edition. He was 11 when the book was published.
