The Prisoners Ace Boggess

?Ace Boggess?s The Prisoners gives voice to those forgotten Americans behind the ever increasing miles of razor wire. Complicated with the mixed emotions of regret and defiance, of loss and perseverance, of hope and frustration, these aren?t just persona poems, nor are they just poems of witness; rather these poems are metaphors, too, for the way each of us may feel jailed by circumstance only to find a kind of freedom in the possibilities of poetry.? ?Gerry LaFemina, author of Vanishing Horizon and Notes for the Novice Ventriloquist
