Ghetto By the Sea is the second anthology in an annual series produced by the students of P.O.P.S. the Club, a club for those whose lives have been touched by prison. In short memoirs, poems, photographs and drawings, the students tell the stories of their lives–sometimes stories about how their lives have been touched by prison, often by the ways in which all kinds of losses change us, forever. Divided into ten sections–Who We Love, How We Live, What We Eat, When We Dream, Where We’re From, Life at POPS, Why We’re Here, Where We Stand, Friends of POPS, and Advice to Ninth Graders–the stories are interspersed with artwork by the students and pencil portraits of many POPS members.
