Sometimes, getting teenagers to share what is on their minds is not that easy. But in this week s On The Ground Ypsi, Lisa Barry and Sarah Rigg talk with Gail Wolkoff, executive director of Educate Youth in Ypsilanti, about a book of poetry written by local students. The students were encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings about the pandemic and other world events in poetry, which was put together as a booklet called Spiritual Warriors.
