The creators represented in A Secret Chord are a testament to the power of transforming pain into poetry, silence into song, sorrow into art, and isolation into community. These teens write searingly of this historical moment, some anonymously and some in their own names.

These young people "are not simply telling stories; [they] are rewriting what is possible."
