Matt Piercy | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

This collection brings together poetry and other writings submitted to Another Slice, a zine created by and for street-entrenched youth in Vancouver, British Columbia. Another Slice, located at Directions Youth Services Centre, provides a venue for self-expression among the youth who live under difficult conditions. This collection is a testament to their creativity, insight and resilience. As Kelsey Johnson writes in the introduction, "Everyday, you walk past us....when it comes down to it the homeless and poor are people too, and we are ALL here for a reason, so it's up to ALL of us to try and make it better." All proceeds from this anthology will go to Another Slice: www.anotherslice.ca.
