Frank, eye-opening writing by "arts in corrections" educators
Poetry and prose by artists, writers, and activists who've taught workshops in U.S. criminal legal institutions, including acclaimed writers Ellen Bass, Joshua Bennett, Jill McDounough, E. Ethelbert Miller, Idra Novey, Joy Priest, Paisley Rekdal, Christopher Soto, and Michael Torres; the late arts in corrections pioneers Buzz Alexander and Judith Tannenbaum; and Guggenheim Award-winning choreographer Pat Graney. These educators demonstrate a diverse range of experiences. Among the questions they ask: Does our work support the continuation or deconstruction of a mass incarcerating society? What led me to teach in prison? How do I resist the "savior" or "helper" narrative? A book for anyone seeking to understand the prison industrial complex from a human perspective. All author royalties from this book will be donated to Dances for Solidarity, a project that brings arts opportunities to people incarcerated in solitary confinement.Languages:EnglishPublisher:New Village PressISBN-13:9781613322116ISBN-10:1613322119UPC:9781613322116Book Category:PoetryBook Subcategory:Anthologies (multiple authors)Size:8.90 x 6.00 x 0.80 inchesWeight:1.15Product ID:SC1F3SRF0V
