For one month each year, the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque brings together New Mexico teens for a creative writing program. These students unite their varied experiences, backgrounds, and beliefs to form a supportive community of respect through conversation and writing. ""de Veras? (really?)"" features a collection of poems, essays, and stories written in the Voces program between 2002 and 2006. These writings reflect the authors' courage to examine their lives, their neighborhoods, their families, and their cultures.
