Between Us is that rare collection that offers the reader a tight literary menu created by not one, but seven writers of poetry and creative non-fiction. Each of these writers keenly observes both the natural world and the human condition. Within their chapters, we experience their talent for taking universal experience to unexpected places. Juxtaposition is their particular talent. As poet Matthew Olzmann observes, "The poetry and prose in Between Us hold something for each of us. Pianos appearing in an intersection, deer on a snow-covered field, chestnut horses, and worry dolls. It's all here. Grief, loss, love, and longing? That's all here as well." And as a special treat for any reader curious about what a writing group is, or could be, each writer begins their chapter with a perspective on this unusual writing group, how it works, and what the Z Street writing community means to their growth as writers. Between Us lives up to its title, reflecting the vision of this community of writers, and intimately whispering in our ears as readers.

This collection represents over a year's worth of work in conference rooms at the Community College of Philadelphia, underneath the frightful glare of LED lights and in neighborhood restaurants, over shared food and drink. And as The 17th Street Writers took shape and form it began to feel like more than a writing collective. It began to feel like a reflection of our city, Philadelphia, both old and new with an abundance of shopworn beauty. It began to feel like a reflection of where we all teach, the Community College of Philadelphia, a place where people still come to wrestle with their dreams. It began to feel like home, like ours. And this, then, is in all of the stories gathered in this collection - a sense of home, of being rooted in a specific place and time and people.

Over the last few decades, the genre of urban fiction—or street lit—has become increasingly popular as more novels secure a place on bestseller lists that were once the domain of mainstream authors. In the 1970s, pioneers such as Donald Goines, Iceberg Slim, and Claude Brown paved the way for today’s street fiction novelists, poets, and short story writers, including Sister Souljah, Kenji Jasper, and Colson Whitehead. In Street Lit: Representing the Urban Landscape, Keenan Norris has assembled a varied collection of articles, essays, interviews, and poems that capture the spirit of urban fiction and nonfiction produced from the 1950s through the present day. Providing both critical analyses and personal insights, these works explore the street lit phenomenon to help readers understand how and why this once underground genre has become such a vital force in contemporary literature. Interviews with literary icons David Bradley, Gerald Early, and Lynel Gardner are balanced with critical discussions of works by Goines, Jasper, Whitehead, and others. With an introduction by Norris that explores the roots of street lit, this collection defines the genre for today’s readers and provides valuable insights into a cultural force that is fast becoming as important to the American literary scene as hip-hop is to music. Featuring a foreword by bestselling novelist Omar Tyree (Flyy Girl) and comprised of works by scholars, established authors, and new voices, Street Lit will inspire any reader who wants to understand the significance of this sometimes controversial but unquestionably popular art form.

For some, the allure and power of the streets are elusive but yet, a wonder to behold. Some engage in this lifestyle of self-destructive criminal behavior, knowing one day it might cost them their family, freedom, or something even far more valuable . . . their lives. Four-Times New York Times Besting-Selling Author Wahida Clark is no stranger to the streets. She served nine-and-a-half years in federal prison. The Bronx's very own Shannon Holmes, author of the National Best-Seller B-More Careful, is no stranger to "Street Lit or the Streets." He served five years himself. Together, they handpicked a select group of authors, each with his or her style and unique flavor of urban literature. So, take a walk on the wild side with us through a hood near you, into sticky situations, where everything is not always what it seems. For the characters in this book, the money stakes are high, and lives are up for grabs. Respect is earned--and power is taken.
