thewordsdevourer's review against another edition
reflective
sad
slow-paced
3.0
an interesting book of poems that offers a revelatory look into america's fcked up incarceral system and the prison industrial complex. most revealing, however, is how the impact of the aforementioned reverberates in individual lives, creates intergenerational trauma, and affects black men's lives both in and after prison. there are many arresting lines and phrases here, but my fav thing is perhaps the redaction poems, which are very unique and impactful.
