“Like A Hammer is an anthology of poems that unearths the shared traumas produced by America’s incarceration system. These powerful poems of witness seek to address the oppressive systems that make up the U.S. prison-industrial complex, revealing cracks in a criminal punishment system that too often appears unchangeable. The impacts of that system reverberate through lives and across generations.
“The poets gathered here aim to foreground the real experiences of people touched by the system, to upend dominant narratives, shine light on injustice, and act as a fulcrum around which to organize communities in support of change.
“Like A Hammer explores how art and imagination can serve as vehicles for endurance, offering us the hope to envision a better future.”
