Poetry. African American, Asian American, Latino/Latina, Gay & Lesbian Studies. Edited by Valerie Chow Bush. Introduction by Jewelle Gomez. JUMP is the seventh anthology of poetry and prose written by young people who participated in the San Francisco WritersCorps 2000-2001 program. The San Francisco WritersCorps, a project of the San Francisco Arts Commission, is a city community service that transforms individuals and communities through the written word. "The work of the young writers in JUMP creates [a] rush of exhilaration. Their poetry and prose is bursting with energy on the page, whatever the form - free-style, haiku, hip-hop, or epic" - Jewelle Gomez.
