Butte County's Homeless Youth

A compilation of poems, short stories, songs and laments by the homeless youth of Butte County, CA. This book gives voice to the struggles of young people living their lives on the streets of an otherwise quiet Northern California college community. With so much ink spilled in the media about "The Homeless Problem", there has been little attention paid to the stories of people actually living it. This book seeks to examine homelessness through the words, hopes and fears of youth caught in a cycle of poverty and brushed aside by the society that created them.
