Abstract
At its core, Jennifer Case’s “What We Make of This World”—a collection of poetry based on her experiences working with at-risk youth—serves as an inquiry into the ethics of writing. By carefully navigating the speaker’s role as an observer and participant in the lives of the subjects, the project explores the students’ needs for dignity and voice and the relationship between privilege/oppression and the ability to speak.
