Gripping and terrifying, eloquent and heartwrenching, this debut collection delves into hellish territory: prison life. Soulful poems somberly capture time-bending experiences and the survivalist mentality needed to live a contradiction, confronting both daily torment and one's illogical fear of freedom.

From "Tell this to the people you love":
or think about?the young boy,
whose name you won't say,
his name written in dirt by
the fence closest the weight
pit, 'cause
prison cells drive men to practice
history, writing names?their own,
someone else's?into
myth?on walls, benches, even
dirt . . .
