Dear WTaholics,
So much has happened and so much has changed….It’s been a long time since the last WT Chronicles has been put out, and almost two years since we’ve been around. (keep your eyes open for a killer white trash birthday party near you!) We apologize for the lapse in publication. One of the most thrilling new things this time is our content—all of the work in this issue is original work, by nine of the most fabulous working class writers we know! This is amazing to me…two years ago we were only two writers and frequently (and probably illegally) republishing poems and essays by working class authors we loved, both because we felt they were important to read, and because we needed to fill space in what was then a bimonthly publication. This time around, I couldn’t fit all of the submissions in! Thanks so much to the writers who shared their work with us! The WT Chronicles has always been meant to be a forum for working class writers and for others who want to share their thoughts about class through writing and art.

We loosely center the publication around topics; this issue’s theme is about family….it seems we never run out of things on that subject to talk about. We are always seeking submissions, and looking for venues in which to do spoken word performances—many of us are spoken word artists, always eager for an audience to bear witness to our class rage! (but don’t let that scare you) We also have back issues available for anyone who wants them—the WT Chronicles is always free, and available online at wtchronicles.org, but donations are always appreciated. Your ideas and thoughts on class are welcome and much needed!
