Night Bloom

Night Bloom highlights the power of creative expression in prison writing workshops. Community, courage, and creativity help inmates find themselves in the ongoing story that is their lives. Honesty about the past, finding words in the present, and imagining a future all add up to framing a larger sense of humanity. Through vignettes, profiles, essays, and examples of inmate writing it demonstrates the roles creative writing can play in broadening the horizon of what is humanly possible, even in the context of prison.
