Synopsis
Poetry. "Maggie Jaffe's poems have a rare power and beauty that says something profound about the world we live in" - Howard Zinn. "This book ought to come with warning labels: 'Danger! Explosive Material!'; 'Mind-Altering Substance - Use with Care'; and, most important of all, 'Do not be captured with this book in your possession.' The blazing vision of Maggie Jaffe's poems transforms America's prisons into a BOOK OF REVELATIONS for our epoch" - H. Bruce Franklin. "Riot. Lock down. The guard -- / gray gun-metal eyes and serial-killer/ smile - barks, WHO STARTED THIS?/ Twelve hands go up. TWELVE/ DAYS IN THE HOLE./ WHO DIDN'T? Fifteen hands reach for the overhead pipes./ FIFTEEN DAYS IN THE HOLE./ He beats his nightstick with a pulsing/ rhythm against his thigh, all the while/ softly moaning, I'M GETTING HARD,/ MAN, GETTING HARD." - "Ultimate Aphrodisiac."
