Ah, the anthology is on goodreads! As one of the contributers, I have to say it was an amazing experience to participate in Oakland Word and have my work published. I came away with a profound respect for my fellow writers, some who have become a new creative community for me. The anthology does make good reading too. The writing is on the more burgeoning side than polished side, but there is promise in these pages. Check it out!
This is an amazing anthology of prose and poetry, fiction and memoir, created by students in 20 free creative writing workshops held at the Oakland Public Library over 2 months in 2010 (including adult literacy students). Naturally the writing's not as polished as you might find elsewhere, but the emotions and stories are real and true. I sat down to read for a short while and ended up reading the whole book.
