Pain & God redefines what homelessness is. These poems insist you look harder, delve deeper, and abandon all preconceptions of the dispossessed man. Pain & God is a collection of voices hungering to be heard. Orlando's Homeless express themselves in a unique manner, portraying the untold truth of a widespread condition. This collection reveals a social reality that knows no age, race, or nationality. Pain & God is an embodiment of the suffering American whose circumstance has made him/her victim to vagrancy. For the first time, the individuals who extend their palms for aid and are repeatedly ignored are making a sound. There is a plea in each poem that simply cannot be ignored. Orlando's homeless articulate their plight through creativity and imagination. Pain & God is an open invitation to experience the pulse of Central Florida that beats inside shelters, behind dumpsters, and under bridges. Without these voices, an entire community would not be accounted for. This anthology challenges a consciousness of the identity behind the phenomenon of homelessness. This anthology communicates the reality of the brother, the father, and even the adolescence undergoing this circumstance. Whatever the reason these individuals have been brought to homelessness, their voice compels you to listen. Pain & God is an anthology of men and women sharing their condition with the world: raw, unveiled, and uncensored. These are their stories.
