This was the first semi-public, post-pandemic reading by the creative writing class at San Quentin. The instructor is Zoe Mullery; for more info on this class, see brothersinpen.wordpress.com.

The class is part of Arts in Corrections (www.artsincorrections.org), which is funded by California's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and administered by the California Arts Council.
