Includes bibliographical references.

"Moving from riots to mall parkades to church on Sundays, the poems in Bradley Peters' debut 'Sonnets from a Cell' mix inmate speech, prison psychology, skateboard slang and contemporary lyricism in a way that is tough and tender, that is accountable both to Peters' own days 'caught between the past and nothing' and to the structures that sentence so many 'to lose.' Written behind doors our culture too often keeps closed, this is poetry reaching out for moments of longing, wild joy and grace."--Back cover.
