Abstract
The motivation behind my collection of poems is that many people, and even animals, have stories that they are unable to share because they have no voice in our society. I have decided that we should listen to their stories because they live the thick of the social structure throughout their lives on a daily basis and their experiences can be used to examine that social structure. I hope that by sharing some of their stories, their thoughts on their situations will in turn bring attention to major issues in our culture that are overlooked. With that being said, I present to you "I GOT SUMPTHIN' TO SAY: Voices of the Overlooked and the Unheard."
