'I write for all that I've seen, for all that I've done, for every place I've been, for every face I know, for eyes staring into mine, for hearts broken, for loves lost, for loves found, for birth, for pain, for death, for vain; I write for all that I believe, for all that I don't for all I wish for, for all I want to know, for all the places I wish to go." - Teri Woods

learning about the genre-blended nature of street lit and jotting down some titles from the 90s and early 2000s.

Such an informative book and has made me a little more realistic about promoting street lit in my non-urban context.

I know that I'm not very far along but this has been a very informative book. I've always wanted to read street lit but I haven't been able to and this guide has made me want to try harder. So surprised that this genre is in high demand by teens/young adults. Not surprised that it's in high demand though.
