 * A Collection of Poems and Personal Accounts of Poverty**

The site presents this collection of writings about poverty in order to promote an understanding of its very real effects on human lives. Their hope is it develop a greater sensitivity to the tragedy, the challenges, and the urgency of poverty. The works collected here are from writers and poets of many cultures and many eras. Some emphasize the tragedy of poverty in striking the most vulnerable of society. Some describe long-perpetrated social and political injustices as contributors to poverty. Others write that poverty is a noble existence which shows the human potential for strength and spirituality in the face of hardship.
