About
Life Sentences speaks to the heart of human experience. In this collection of poems dealing largely with situations of physical and emotional tension or crisis, John R. Reed locates the individual in the midst of events that tend to reduce one's private life story to insignificance. He reveals the effort that we all make to resist that reduction through the imaginative construction of our own "life sentences."
