We are involved in the struggles to have our voices heard, our outsider voices. Even though our writing appears in the same anthology, please recognize that we are all very different. The themes and concerns of our writing are as varied as we are. It contains memoir, fiction, poetry.
Having initiated the workers’ writing workshop that blossomed into the LaborFest Writers Group, I am in awe of its continuance and growth, now publishing a brilliant anthology of their work, giving voice to working class desires, woes, courage, and resistance while trapped in this merciless capitalist reality.
