About this Book:
In her debut collection FREELAND, poet and editor Leigh Sugar obsessively searches form and language to communicate what happens in the U.S. mass incarceration system. Through the lens of a young woman in a relationship with an incarcerated writer, FREELAND follows this impossible love story while drawing compelling and critical connections between her personal and familial history, the Jewish diaspora, the racial imaginary of Whiteness, and the philosophical and literal evolution of the prison machine
