A collection of poems, letters, and stories. These poems and letters are true work of both authors and the stories I wrote are pure and positive imagination. This is a rare collaboration of its kind because my father had life in the Maryland State Penitentiary and wrote his poems before he passed on. And me his son was incarcerated in a Federal prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania where my writing began. Although both of us were incarcerated in different states; ironically we wrote on some of the same subjects but different titles. I don't know if it's hereditary or just a freak incident. But growing up I have always heard people say, "Like father, like son." So please enjoy this extraordinary book by father and son. Which will share some of our deepest thoughts, emotions, and experiences through our writings in the plight of our incarceration?

Book excerpt: Missives to My Son from Prison offers the reader an emotional story of one father seeking to connect with his son, despite the isolating nature of mass incarceration. This short memoir is made up of ten letters Kevin Burno wrote to his son. Burno puts these letters in context, showing what events, thoughts, and personal struggles led to each message. Burno's writing portrays the difficulties of communicating across the barriers of incarceration and of maintaining relationships with family. Despite these challenges, Burno strives to be a part of his son's life, instilling in him strong principles and spiritual guidance. Burno, arrested in 2013 for a crime he didn't commit, grew up seeing the men in his life imprisoned, and he knows what it means to grow up without a father. His words express urgency, injustice, and wisdom, but most of all, they convey a father's love.
Download or read book Dear Lupin written by Roger Mortimer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Among the funniest [letters] ever dispatched in the vain hope of steering a black sheep onto something like the straight and narrow." —The Wall Street Journal Nostalgic, witty, and original, Dear Lupin by Roger Mortimer and Charlie Mortimer tracks the entire correspondence between a father and his only son. When the book begins, Charlie, the son, is studying at Eton, although the studying itself is not a priority, much to his father's chagrin. After Charlie graduates and moves from South America to Africa and eventually back to London, Roger continues to write regularly, offering advice (which is rarely heeded) as well as humorous updates from home ("Your mother has had the flu. Her little plan to give up spirits for Lent lasted three and a half days"). Roger's letters range from reproachful ("You may think it mildly amusing to be caught poaching in the park; I would consider it more hilarious if you were not living on the knife edge") to resigned ("I am very fond of you, but you do drive me round the bend"), but his correspondence is always filled with warmth, humor, and wisdom that offers unique insight into the relationship between father and son.

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."

Seeking direction (and dental insurance) Steinberg takes a job running the library counter at a Boston prison. He is quickly drawn into the community of outcasts that forms among his bookshelves—an assortment of quirky regulars, including con men, pimps, minor prophets, even ghosts—all searching for the perfect book and a connection to the outside world.
