V6A : writing from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside

Asfour, John. (Added Author). Gardiner, Elee Kraljii, 1970- (Added Author).

Summary: "V6A refracts the experience of thirty-two writers who have been a part of the DTES community in some way. ...pieces explore the sex trade and the Missing Women of the DTES, the culture of Chinatown and other ethnic communities, and the simple, human truths around poverty, kinship, forgiveness, and faith, and remind us that expression flourishes regardless of barriers. --provided by publisher.
