The Pizza Poetry Project is an annual celebration of National Poetry Month and the power of youth voice. On Pizza Poetry Day, hot pizza comes with a fresh poem by New Orleans youth ages 6-18. This collection of pizza poems commemorates five years of spreading youth-written poetry throughout New Orleans—through the unifying force of pizza.

All proceeds from the sale of this book go toward the free student programming at Big Class (soon to be 826 New Orleans), a non-profit youth writing organization serving New Orleans.
