Reginald Dwayne Betts confronts the funk of post-incarceration existence and examines prison not as a static space, but as a force that enacts pressure throughout a person’s life. Challenging the complexities of language, Betts animates what it means to be a “felon.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom “Night”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat she tells me: prison killed you\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003emy love, killed you so dead that you’re not\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ehere now, you’re never here, you’re always.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49347080487216,"sku":"BDdcfr","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49347080519984,"sku":"10dcfr","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/dcfr-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773691218","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dcfr","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
