Product Description
The Beat Within is a nation-wide writing program for incarcerated youth that is ten years old. "Words not Weapons" is the theme, getting young adults -- male and female, of all races -- to learn that the power of words and images is stronger than violence. While a couple of volumes of poetry generated by this program have been published, Illustrations from the Inside: The Beat Within focuses on the drawings that these kids do, almost entirely in pencil. Remarkable for its execution, compelling in terms of content and chock-full of varied renderings of everything from Homer Simpson to the violent deaths of friends and family, these illustrations humanize these juveniles, in a way that the penal system resists.
