Lisa Grey Garcia’s new book Criminal of Poverty stares homelessness in the eye and refuses to blink. Eleven-year-old Lisa becomes her mother’s primary support when they face the prospect of homelessness. As Dee, a single mother, struggles with the demons of her own childhood of neglect and abuse, Lisa has to quickly assume the roles of an adult in an attempt to keep some stability in their lives. “Dee and Tiny” ultimately become underground celebrities in San Francisco, squatting in storefronts and performing the “art of homelessness.” Their story, filled with black humor and incisive analysis, illuminates the roots of poverty, the criminalization of poor families and their struggle for survival.

Appearing as the Molotov Mouths Outspoken Word Troupe is Ananda Esteva, Leroy F. Moore Jr., Josiah Luis Alderete and James Tracy. The Mouths is a collective of poets of the political imagination hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area. Drawing from various literary traditions, the group\'s electric performances at once pay respect to the Latino and Black Arts Movements of the Sixties, the sweeping visions of Sandburg and Mayakovsky, and the artistic voice of the labor movements of the Thirties. The Molotov Mouths have toured all over the United States and Canada-in prisons, union halls, music festivals, schools, night clubs and community arts centers. Together, they start from very different places to draw a poetic map of life in Las Americas during so-called New World Order.
