Books I’ve Read in 2018 #9 ‘One Big Self: An Investigation’ by C.D.Wright. This collection of poetry, inspired by a series of visits to four Louisiana prisons alongside photographer Deborah Luster, is beyond compare. Wright uses a uniquely fractured flow of intricately crafted ideas, quotes, observations and musings from these visits which manage to capture the the humanity of those within the prison system. She manages to do so without judgement or motive, yet all the while still capturing the stark beauty that hides behind the truth and the violence. An incredible read. #onebigself #cdwright #deborahluster #minimonotonebookclub #houlart #houl
