Terrell Carter is an inmate in a maximum-security prison, who at the age of 23 was sentenced to life imprisonment. More than 23 years later he wrote this collection of poems and short stories about his experience before and after imprisonment. At the same time literal and metaphorical, this collection clearly captures the complex of reasons one ends up in prison, and what that experience is like. I have had the opportunity to meet and talk with the author and like this collection, he is deeply reflective and intelligent man who has experienced the full range of human emotions. If nothing else, this collections obliterates the societal stereotypes of the incarcerated, and shows the tyrue human experience of those we have locked away.
