About this title

From the Author:

Poets & Writers asked me to teach poetry as part of my regular Taking Wings class for prison inmates at New York's maximum security Downstate Prison. The quality of the poems that my students created was amazing. Hence this superb little book. The milestones of which I annotated along the way. The net result is a truly unique life-changer. I hope like it.

From the Inside Flap:

"Victims abide at both ends of a gun. Bullets fly to the heart and from the heart. Wounds that exist before the pulling of the trigger are the wellspring of crime
and the font of redemption." - John Wareham, Chairman & CEO, Eagles Foundation
NEW LIVES FOR OLDThat's the lofty mission of the Eagles Prison Program. But is that just a pipe dream? Judge for yourself as maximum security prison inmates share their journeys from innocence to criminality, arrest to bewilderment, conviction to incarceration, despair to hope, defeat to victory, vice to virtue, and lawlessness to love.
