With a mission to build the next generation of young authors, Books of Hope is a collaborative program run by the Mystic Learning Center and the Somerville Arts Council. Youth, ages 15-21 meet for weekly classes where they read, write, discuss, and workshop original creative writing. 2009/2010 BOH authors have published their own full-length books and will perform at ArtBeat as part of the “Mystic Ink Tour,” which takes the youth to some of the top spoken word venues and bookstores in the region.
