Our limited edition Voices of the Street anthology features poetry and prose written by people experiencing poverty, inadequate housing, disability and other marginalizing barriers to the larger community.
Each year, we host community writing workshops with a theme for the next anthology as a writing prompt. Content is submitted by writers from these workshops, as well as our regular writing workshops at Onsite Detox and Transitional Housing. Many workshop participants have published in Megaphone magazine, and a few have gone on to publish their work in other literary publications, such as Geist, Poetry is Dead and White Rabbit Quarterly.
Vendors purchase copies of Voices of the Street at cost for $5 and sell them on the street for $15, keeping the profit.
This year’s edition, titled Bread, Roses & Safe Supply features the work of 29 writers and two peer photographers. Our launch event will be held on May 17th, from 6-8 pm, at SFU’s Goldcorp Centre for the Arts. You can purchase tickets here.
What are the necessities of life? In the 14th edition of Megaphone’s annual literary anthology, writers + photographers explore what it means to be free in three distinct chapters: Bread, Roses & Safe Supply.
