| The POOR Press Authors | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In 2003 POOR Magazine launched a new branch to its ever expanding web of media resistance, POOR Press and its education arm; Digital Resistance. In this program, very low and no income adults and youth are given the opportunity to create a book from start to finish, beginning with creative writing, narrative essays and poetry and then progressing to graphic design and layout publishing and promotion. Since its inception, POOR Press has allowed over 46 youth and adult poverty scholars to publish books of artwork, poetry and short stories, sharing their extremely valuable, but all too often ignored, experiences, views and opinions with the world. | ||||||||
| This semester, POOR Press has released seven amazing, insightful books addressing issues ranging from child abuse and police brutality to homelessness and poverty. These authors have all persevered to share their stories and scholarship. | ||||||||
| Written honestly and from the heart, these pieces of writing and artwork are truly unlike anything else found in the corporate world of publishing today. These books allow the reader to experience and learn about the very personal struggles and resistance of each author. | ||||||||
