Lauren Kessler

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland

Over three years, Lauren Kessler helped men facing life in prison confront the reality of spending the rest of their lives behind bars through writing workshops. Kessler brings her experience and some of their most powerful stories to light in her new book, A Grip of Time (Red Lightning). Gripping, intense, and heartfelt, A Grip of Time shows what a lifetime with no hope of release looks like up close.
