“A model of the integration of theory and practice, contemplation and action. Revd. Parry brings aesthetics into conversation with trauma studies, sociology and theology, not in the rarified air of the ivory tower, but in the noisy, ugly, brutalizing environment of American prisons, and in the company of those who live, and struggle to find meaning and even healing there.  This book combines clarity, wisdom, experience, compassion, practical guidance and, perhaps most importantly, hope in the presence of the Holy in the darkest places.”
