Volume 7, Issue 1

“While it is difficult to imagine the genre ever receiving much mainstream critical acclaim, that was never the goal of these books. They are not written for a graduate school seminar readership. Street lit has always delved the desolation of urban America. Is is of and for the streets, period, point-blank. Street lit is our most sustained artistic examination of America’s system of mass incarceration. It remains the voice of the prisoner, the hustler, the pimp, the prostitute, and all those in search of their personal redemption from the American underworld.”
