Product Description

Review

"Lamb . . . continues to offer readers an intimate look at women struggling to maintain their humanity." (Booklist )

"Inspiring and raw.They write from the heart.each vignette is more compelling than the one before it." (Library Journal )

"Accomplished.Each story, no matter how grim or gritty, shows polish." (Kirkus Reviews )

Product Description

For several years, Wally Lamb, the author of two of the most beloved novels of our time, has run a writing workshop at the York Correctional Institution, Connecticut's only maximum-security prison for women. Writing, Lamb discovered, was a way for these women to face their fears and failures and begin to imagine better lives. Couldn't Keep It to Myself, a collection of their essays, was published in 2003 to great critical acclaim. With I'll Fly Away, Lamb offers readers a new volume of intimate pieces from the York workshop. Startling, heartbreaking, and inspiring, these stories are as varied as the individuals who wrote them, but each illuminates an important core truth: that a life can be altered through self-awareness and the power of the written word.

5.0 out of 5 stars Writing with Wally Lamb as therapy, May 4 2009

By	Mary Frances (Montreal, Qc, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I'll Fly Away Lp (Paperback)

In his role as Professor of Creative Writing, Wally Lamb has collected a second series of writings by the incarcerated women of York Correctional Institute in PA. While this is some of the most disturbing and voyeuristic reading I have ever done, it is also an indirect look at a prison system which is simply not working adequately to achieve its purpose: to keep criminals from re-offending, to help addicts recover sobriety, to reform and punish and separate the bad seeds from the rest of us good, law-abiding citizens... The autobiographical tales recounted by the women of York are gut-wrenching and horrifying. It is not surprising that they ended up in prison, it is only surprising that they did not end up there sooner. Wally Lamb shows great respect for and validation of these women in publishing their stories. These two collections of prisoners' writings (Couldn't Keep It To Myself and I'll Fly Away) challenge some of society's simplistic notions about incarceration, and leave me with hope that programs such as Lamb's prison writing workshops will help some badly bruised and broken souls to reclaim their dignity.
