Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Convict: And Other Poems The Convict. Part First. I. Now blooming Spring is young. The black bird calls Unto his mate outside my prison walls. The sun begins to build his flaming arch, And morning ushers in the first of March. But Spring is old within my withered soul - So old, she seems not in her common role; So old, she Summer seems, and Summer's breeze Is cooled by early Autum's chilly wheeze, And Autum's falling leaves smite Winter's snow, And o'er them all the cold winds blow, and blow. But Winter over laps both Spring and Fall And casts on each young hope an icy pall. Thus round and round they always backward go, Each previous season always growing slow And each succeeding season gaining speed, In order to o'er lap with hasty greed, Till icy Winter overtops them all, And then her deadening tentacles lets fall - Fell hate, intense remorse and deep despair - And feels about, and in my heart, and there, With deadly cold and horrid, fateful clasp, Summer, Fall and Spring, they, eager grasp, And hold them fast within a frozen vice Till all become one solid block of ice, And they all go hurrying round, and ever Comes Winter, Winter, Winter, Winter, Each season colder than the one before, Until my heart sends forth warm life no more Thro' out my veins, but at each beat I die And feel my hueless blood all vitrify With horror. And between each beat I live About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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."

Download or read book The Kingis Quair and Other Prison Poems written by Mary-Jo Arn and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers have noticed that the fifteenth century saw a remarkable flourishing of poems written in conditions of physical captivity or on the subject of imprisonment. The largest body of this poetry is from the pen of Charles of Valois, duke of Orleans, who was captured by the English at the battle of Agincourt in 1415 and not released until 1440. The longest single poem on the subject is James I of Scotland's The Kingis Quair, purportedly written at the time of his release from an eighteen-year imprisonment in England .This volume reflects the wide scope of these prison poems by bringing together a new edition of The Kingis Quair, a selection from Charles d'Orleans' Fortunes Stabilnes, a poem by George Ashby, who was imprisoned in London's Fleet prison, and the poems of two other poets, both anonymous, who wrote about physical and/or emotional imprisonment.
