Poetic Freedom: Born A Caged Bird - Paperback

A collection of poems written by Mario Finesse Wright during his incarceration takes one on an intoxicating and heart-wrenching ride through experiences of racism, imprisonment, poverty, addiction, and criminality. Wright finds solace and purpose through writing about his life's raw yet beautiful struggle. Why beautiful? Because they ultimately become tools for mental and spiritual growth. These poems don't focus on prison solely, but on the prison state he realized he was born into and sickly fell in love with. At last, a broken heart finds freedom in poetry. Wright's humble and honest voice speaks in a way that can inspire hope while simultaneously opening one's eyes to a very dark side of society and it's inconsistencies. His poems are based on his true-life experiences. In essence, it's a personal poetic journey of self-realization in which Wright courageously exposes deep personal truths for those who may already relate to them and to many more whose eyes may be startled open. Coming from the purest place- from the heart of a man who simply wishes to share his journey of struggle and triumph over adversity to heal himself and hopefully inspire others.
