Editors: Marina Johnson and Alea Samone Publisher: Still Waters Collective (2018) From Still Waters Collective: The SWC anthology celebrates our community and craft. It is a showcase of poetry and stories inspired by workshops from our various programs including: PENtastic, FoxTales, The Write In, Voltage, and High School Slam League. Enjoy 60 pieces by teens and adults that tell tales of identity, women empowerment, Milwaukee neighborhoods, racial justice, family, love and more! Still Waters Collective applies the craft of creative writing and the art of spoken word to build community, capacity, and confidence. Still Waters began as an adult open mic at a Milwaukee nightclub called Mecca. From four poets standing sharing their work around a tall cocktail table, the Still Waters series grew to a weekly institution that nurtured a community for more than a decade. Since 2008 Still Waters has predominantly focused on youth, delivering programs to more than three dozen schools every year.
