Time Served

This provocative debut from National Poetry Slam Champion Carlos Contreras is a conversation in two parts: one, a monologue-style musing on working in a correction facility told from an insider/outsider perspective; and two, an homage to veterans of other kinds of war who must learn to live inside and outside their own prisons of mind and body.
