Book Synopsis Poems from Prison and Life by : Marcos Ana
Download or read book Poems from Prison and Life written by Marcos Ana and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems were written in prison, in the depth of night, by the poor light of a peculiar lamp, assembled from an old inkwell, a little alcohol that I smuggled from the sick bay and a wick plaited from the lace of an espadrille. Afterwards when eyes and keys were waking up, I would hide my words in a shoe and while walking in the prison yard, on a circular path that led nowhere, I would memorise the poems, giving them form and harmony...' The Spanish Communist poet Marcos Ana (1920-2016) was Spain's longest serving political prisoner. Captured by Italian troops at the end of the Civil War, he spent the next 23 years in Franco's prisons, often in solitary confinement. In prison he started writing poems, which were smuggled out and published as Poemas desde la cercel (1960). Ana was eventually released in 1961, following an international campaign led by Pablo Neruda, Rafael Alberti, Jean-Paul Sartre, Yves Montand, Pablo Picasso and Joan Baez. Che Guevara was carrying one of Ana's books when he was executed. Clear, musical, painful and compelling, Poems from Prison and Life is the first English translation of Ana's last book, published when he was 91, in order to 'open a path of fire and rebellion in the hearts and minds of the new generations, in whose furrows we have sown our history.'

Download or read book Poems from Folsom Prison written by SISU and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems came from a place within a Finnish man's mind, to escape the walls of confinement. They reflect the turmoil within the prison, and to look back at the peace and tranquility of a former life. I was an "outsider," and not in the good graces of the "jailer". Therefore, the only thing I could do, was to rely on my Finnish mind. The Finnish term for survival is called "Sisu". They had my broken body, but not my mind.
Book Synopsis Felon: Poems by : Reginald Dwayne Betts
Download or read book Felon: Poems written by Reginald Dwayne Betts and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2019 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in Poetry Finalist for the 2019 Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Poetry A searing volume by a poet whose work conveys "the visceral effect that prison has on identity" (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times). Felon tells the story of the effects of incarceration in fierce, dazzling poems—canvassing a wide range of emotions and experiences through homelessness, underemployment, love, drug abuse, domestic violence, fatherhood, and grace—and, in doing so, creates a travelogue for an imagined life. Reginald Dwayne Betts confronts the funk of postincarceration existence and examines prison not as a static space, but as a force that enacts pressure throughout a person’s life. The poems move between traditional and newfound forms with power and agility—from revolutionary found poems created by redacting court documents to the astonishing crown of sonnets that serves as the volume’s radiant conclusion. Drawing inspiration from lawsuits filed on behalf of the incarcerated, the redaction poems focus on the ways we exploit and erase the poor and imprisoned from public consciousness. Traditionally, redaction erases what is top secret; in Felon, Betts redacts what is superfluous, bringing into focus the profound failures of the criminal justice system and the inadequacy of the labels it generates. Challenging the complexities of language, Betts animates what it means to be a "felon."

After being a resident of the Department of Corrections only two things happen. You become better or worse because you will never be the same.

Download or read book Seen & Heard written by Lucy Baldwin and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of poems and drawings by parents and children affected by imprisonment in the UK and abroad. The poems and images are all original and from open competitions begun in 2018. They address the thoughts, feelings and beliefs of the authors as they express themselves concerning their emotions and experiences. Over a million children and family members are affected by imprisonment in the UK alone and the poems seek to emphasise the sense of loss, deprivation and isolation involved. They also show resilience—and how enforced separation impacts each and every day of the writer’s life. Extract from Mark’s ‘And I Need My Dad’ You are not here Like my friend’s dad To build rocket-ships And kick a football… You are not here Because you are there: Inside doing time, And I need my dad. Backed by prison and prisoner interest groups and children’s charities. Contains wholly original material and insights. Linked to public events and initiatives. To be used in education and training.

Download or read book Sack Nasty written by Ra Avis and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-18 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sack Nasty is a compilation of poetry about prison. Unlike the author's blog, the stories told here don't always fall sunny-side up. They are an outpouring of the uglier edges of prison life. They are about the illusion of dignity, the malleability of justice, and the fluidity (and fluids) of the human condition. These are true stories from 438 days of incarceration.The title, Sack Nasty, refers to the nickname given to the bagged lunches served to jail birds. Prison food is nearly inedible, and the lies cooked up are all too easy to digest, but the important thing to remember is- you don't have to eat what they feed you. Freedom sustains itself.
Book Synopsis The Prison Poems of Nikolai Bukharin by : Nikolai Bukharin
Download or read book The Prison Poems of Nikolai Bukharin written by Nikolai Bukharin and published by Prison Manuscripts. This book was released on 2018-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nikolai Bukharin (1888-1938), an original Bolshevik leader and a founder of the Soviet state, spent the last year of his life imprisoned by Stalin, awaiting a trial and eventual execution. Remarkably during that time, from March 1937 to March 1938, Bukharin wrote four book-length manuscripts by hand in his prison cell. Seventy years later, The Prison Poems is the last of the four prison manuscripts, which include How It All Began: The Prison Novel and Socialism and Its Culture, to be published, allowing readers to grasp Bukharin's vision in its full extent. Bukharin organized the nearly 180 poems in this volume, written from June to November 1937, into several series. One dealing with forerunners to the 1917 Russian Revolution and another focusing on the Russian Civil War contain commentary not found in the other prison manuscripts. The same is true of the "Lyrical Intermezzo" poems for and about Anna Larina, his young wife, from whom he was separated by his imprisonment. This first English translation of Bukharin's Prison Poems is a compelling read, evidencing the powerful intersection of politics and art.

Download or read book One Big Self written by C.D. Wright and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wright has found a way to wed fragments of an iconic America to a luminously strange idiom, eerie as a tin whistle, which she uses to evoke the haunted quality of our carnal existence.”—The New Yorker Inspired by numerous visits inside Louisiana state prisons—where MacArthur Fellow C.D. Wright served as a “factotum” for a portrait photographer—One Big Self bears witness to incarcerated men and women and speaks to the psychic toll of protracted time passed in constricted space. It is a riveting mosaic of distinct voices, epistolary pieces, elements from a moralistic board game, road signage, prison data, inmate correspondence, and “counts” of things—from baby’s teeth to chigger bites: Count your folding money Count the times you said you wouldn’t go back Count your debts Count the roaches when the light comes on Count your kids after the housefire One Big Self—originally published as a large-format limited edition that featured photographs and text—was selected by The New York Times and The Village Voice as a notable book of the year. This edition features the poem exclusively. C.D. Wright is the author of ten books of poetry, including several collaborations with photographer Deborah Luster. She is a professor at Brown University.
