Gray Dawn

This is a book of mental snapshots taken while people were caught in a situation not of their own choosing. Poetry provides us an avenue to share the thoughts of others in the hope of increasing understanding for what we experienced in the wold of the incarcerated, along with those "outside" helping, and the suffering they endured. The emphasis is on various adaptations made to ensure mental and physical survival... sometimes heroic, and about the good people that helped us along the way. Yes, these poems were written in a, prison amp during the years 2015-2017 and then in a halfway house, during 2018.Here are poems of passion. I, and the people and events that made these poems possible, are reaching out to you through ht beauty of language.
