Description
This provocative debut from National Poetry Slam Champion Carlos Contreras is a conversation in two parts: one, a monologue-style musing on working in a correction facility told from an insider/outsider perspective; and two, an homage to veterans of other kinds of war who must learn to live inside and outside their own prisons of mind and body. Review: TimeServed is poetic proof of Carlos Contreras's personal and literary commitment to serve as a respectful and honest witness to painful struggles, dark corners, unexpected art, and honest humanity that exist in and outside of correctional facilities; exist in and outside of not-so-perfect, but loving families; and most definitely reside within all human beings. --Shelle Sanchez, New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs
