Praise for Reginald Dwayne Betts

"[Reginald Dwayne Betts] writes masterfully, in various forms. He also illustrates the transformative power of love."
- Elizabeth Lund, Washington Post

"Searing. . . . This is a powerful work of lyric art. It is also a tour de force indictment of the carceral industrial state."
- ECarolyn Forché, New York Times Book Review

"[Reginald Dwayne] Betts is a hero to men on the inside. . . . He's a hero to anyone who believes redemption can be had and is not some abstract idea."
- John J. Lennon, Poetry Foundation

"Reginald Dwayne Betts animates and really embodies the minutiae of revision in this once-in-a-lifetime art object. . . . Betts's artistry shows and proves a necessary breaking and blurring of the lines between wandering into yesterday, wondering into tomorrow, and wrestling with the funk of today. Betts has written the twenty-first-century book that will dictate how freedom, power, and consequence are written about until the sun says enough. It is that good."
- Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy : An American Memoir
