PRISONERS VOICE HOPE
IN VOLUME OE POETRV
STILLWATER, Minn.,Feb. 7. (JP)
—So full of poets is the Minnesota
penitentiary that once a year the
prison issues a volume of verse writ
ten by inmates.
Seventy-two poems are contained
in this year’s edition, published as a
suppliment to The Prison Mirror,
organ of the institution and the old
est prison publication in the country.
Hope is the keynote of most of the
verse, and moralizing predominates,
but many of those to whom the muse
has come through the cell bars have
expressed themselves in odes or son
nets which Warden J. J. Sullivan re
gards as works of genuine merit.
Other prison poets have a bent for
melodramatic verse.
The only identification of poems is
by the initials of the authors.
