Winner of the NAACP Image Award and finalist for the 2019 Los Angeles Times Book PrizeA powerful work of lyric art. -New York Times Book Review, Editors ChoiceIn fierce, agile poems, Felon tells the story of the effects of incarceration-canvassing a wide range of emotions and experiences through homelessness, underemployment, love, drug abuse, domestic violence, fatherhood, and grace-and, in doing so, creates a travelogue for an imagined life. Reginald Dwayne Betts confronts the funk of post-incarceration existence in traditional and newfound forms, from revolutionary found poems created by redacting court documents to the astonishing crown of sonnets that serves as the volumes radiant conclusion.
