Felon
Poems
Reginald Dwayne Betts
This poetry collection delves into the effects of incarceration, covering topics from homelessness to fatherhood to grace. Reginald Dwayne Betts confronts the lasting impact of prison on post-incarceration life, using both traditional and innovative forms to create a powerful and timely exploration of the criminal justice system. With its focus on the erasure of the incarcerated from public consciousness and the failures of the system, Felon challenges the complexities of language to redefine what it means to be a "felon."
