Poetry from Within is about all of us - our own 'prisons' within relationships, jobs, divorce, school and life. Over the past 27 years serving a life sentence in an Illinois prison, the author writes about the treasures he buried before incarceration, and the suffering of life inside the prison. His writings cover holidays, graduations, family events, and are told with a passion and realism unique to his life experiences. From elections to Covid to "wokeness", Kurtis brings you inside prison to help you realize freedom from your own 'prisons'.
