Live from the DTES, these words have been laid down by writers who DEMAND to be heard. Raw. Authentic. Uncompromising.
This is the dope shit. Do not buy from imitators. Issue #1 of North America’s newest chapbook series, featuring the work of the DTES Writers Collective, is also available in hard copy, $10 for five. Email editor@hastingsjournal.com with the numbers you need, and give your friends a gift that might just turn around and bite them in the ass. There ain’t no free press without Freedom Press.

Truth is, that’s why we said the revolution wouldn’t be televised”

Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, located within the ancestral territories of the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh peoples, is one of the most disadvantaged communities in North America. The DTES Writer’s Collective exists to give a voice to those who might not otherwise be heard.
