Say the Word

The Say The Word Anthology honors the ccomplishments of students who entered the Los Angeles Southwest College English Department's annual Say The Word essay and poetry writing competition in 2008. Published annually, it rewards these authors with public recognition and an opportunity to have their voices heard beyond the walls of the classroom. By making this anthology available publicly, we hope to share the extraordinary experiences of our urban student body. and inspire ever more student writers to excel both in and out of academia.
