What critics say: Poems from the Writing Workshop at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility which Hettie Jones led for some 15 years. “A gathering of remarkable voices. This collection is a testament to the fact that the mind and the heart cannot be confined.” — Chuck Wachtel. “This small miracle of a book is not what people expect ‘prison writing’ to be. Each of these women has a unique voice, and the writing is luminous, surprisingly lyrical, tender, and hopeful as a candle in the dark.” — Bibi Wein.
