Remarkable collection of poems, stories and essays gathered from sixth-grade children in a ghetto school on New York`s Lower East Side...

`Miss Mirthes, the teacher who inspired the sixth‐graders’ compositions, says most of the 31 young authors of “Can`t You Hear Me Talking to You?” still live in the “disaster area of the Lower East Side where they are deluged by drugs and family problems.”

The 27‐year‐old teacher, who often invites the youngsters to her Greenwich Village home and frequently visits Junior High School 71 at 600 East Sixth Street, where many of her former pupils will graduate this June, gave the following resume of the present situation of some of the writers...

Proceeds from the book, after publishing costs are met, will be put into a fund to be set up by Bantam Books, Inc., for the education of underprivileged children. The compositions, inspired by Caroline Mirthes, an English teacher at the school at 333 East Fourth Street, carry fictitious names because many of the children sought anonymity. The photographs were made by Jeffrey Levine for the book.`
