Writing after the fall

Reginald Dwayne Betts, poet, lawyer, and one of the most compelling voices in contemporary American literature, has built his work from a life marked by incarceration. Writing emerges as a space of reconstruction, where language confronts justice and its failures. Between poetry and reflection, his work explores identity, responsibility, and transformation.

A session in which literature becomes an act of survival.
