Felon: Poems by Reginald Dwayne Betts

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

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.
