There should be a @FreeMindsDC everywhere.
Start your week with poetry.
When You Hear Me (You Hear Us) is forthcoming this fall from @FreeMindsDC & @shoutmousepress. A sample of the powerful voices featured in it – four poets who were all incarcerated as children – is up at @_inquest_ today: inquest.org/when-you-hear-me…
