Profound, lyrical, visceral, enlightening, and moving poetry. It sheds light of the predatory prison system and its long-lasting impacts on those it incarcerates and their families.

I will admit poetry is not something I typically pick up so I’m not surely I fully understood each and every poem in this book however the redacted poems in particular stuck out to me and were incredibly powerful. This is a book about incarceration and it’s wide reaching impacts and how we can continue to fight against them. Highly recommend everyone gives this book a try.
