The Journal of Progressive Working Class Literature, Blue Collar Review Winter 2024-25 opens with an editorial documenting the political state of our country in the context of a global history of dictatorships. Writing as witness, this issue documents the role of creative expression, “We know they are coming for us and we are as enraged as we are frightened. In typesetting this issue, we note a proliferation of expletives. Working class writing often evokes our class mood and these poets are pissed!”
Joining the paper protest in this issue are poets Dave Roskos, Dan Grote, Robert Cooperman, G.C. Compton, Darrell Petska, Cathy Porter, Fred Voss (R.I.P), Thot King, Andrew Slipp, Gregg Shotwell, Christopher Buckley, Gregg Shotwell, Dan Grote, Bill Mohr, R.M. Yager, Chris Butters, Manry Franke, Shirley Adelman (R.I.P.), Al Markowitz, Angelo Mesisco, Steweart Acuff, many more.
