Voices from Inside writers Daisy Hernandez and Tara McNamara will join Lois Ahrens, founder of The Real Cost of Prisons Project, and the activist and poet Kempis Songster and the oral historian Revan Schendler at an event at Forbes Library in Northampton, MA, on December 7, 2016. As part of a year-long exploration of incarceration at the Forbes and Five Colleges, we welcome five prison writers and activists who will read from their work and discuss what writing can bring to those who have been or are in prison -- and what the formerly and currently incarcerated can bring to us through their writing.
