Rewriting Homeless Identity: Writing as Coping in an Urban Homeless
Community focuses on the identities of homeless writers, with
initially limited or no specialized training in writing, at a
homeless community church. Through an ethnographic, two-year study,
author Jeremy Godfrey hosted and participated in weekly writing
workshops. He also participated in the founding of a street
newspaper within that community. This book shows Godfrey's
experiences in leading writing workshops and how they promoted
self-exploration within this community. Students of the workshop
negotiated their unique, individual writing personas during the
study. Those personas were often coping with their experiences on
the streets. More importantly, the writers viewed those experiences
as central to their writing processes. Much like the setting of the
workshop at an urban, non-denominational, community church, the
writers honed their coping tactics through conversational and
performance-driven writings. Rewriting Homeless Identity highlights
those writing samples and the conversations with homeless authors
of the samples in relation to identity and a sense of growth.
