  • I just finished the transcription for your post. I'm sorry that it's already 2013 & you had hoped to get it posted earlier. Not enough typists to pass on your messages, I'm afraid. Your letter made me even more aware of the unfortunate truths of modern society (and particularly the ...

  • Remember to wish yourself enough too. The time to forget requires the natural processes of change to continue their slow trudge into the future. I wish you balance, I wish you knowledge, I wish you appreciation, I wish you all the things One could wish in a typed-up poem to ...

  • I just finished the transcription for your post about the "machoness" of crying, and I fully agree with the viewpoint you shared. I think an important lesson to keep in mind is that when we were infants, crying was one of our only forms of communication, and it could mean ...

  • I finished the transcription for your poem. The whole page was a piece of art and it was an absolute pleasure to read it. I hope I'm right in thinking that it concerns breaking out of a given mindset with the aim of growing to one's potential. Needless to say, ...

  • I transcribed your poem HEROISM, and I was very moved by the depth of the concept you brought up in such a short piece. I think the truth of the matter is that life tends to be horridly unfair and people, and despite what people tell themselves, even the people ...

  • I transcribed your poem "Pure Hell". First, let me say thank you. I think the word "haunting" describes it well. It's something that I will remember. The use of words with double meanings was clever and gave the piece an overall sense of togetherness. Maybe a little bit more punctuation? ...

  • I am absolutely stunned after reading your poem WOunded MAN. It is an incredible poem. It really, truly is. The title drew me in instantly, and the numbers mixed in with the flowing poetry kept me reading. Anything that starts with a mention of our DNA deserves praise, especially when ...

  • I finished the transcription for your post "Perception". You raise some very heartfelt points about race & perceptions of society. I think there's a fine balance between sticking to our roots and standing up for our (perceived) race and knocking down barriers to make room for the greater "modern" community, ...

  • Hi Nate, I finished the transcription for your post "The Realm of Conciousness: Part 1". My condolences about Hersch, I know from first-hand experience the destructions strokes can cause. However, having said that, your response to the occurrence was insightful. As of yet, we can't see or detect spirits. But ...

  • I just finished the transcription for your post "A Cry Into the Abyss". Good poem, thanks for sharing. Keep writing, and know that the people reading your work on Between the Bars want to help you land. We will be your echo with the outside world :) --C.B.B. (candleships)

  • I just finished the transcription for your poem "Running" -it's really touching. Between the Bars really benefits from having artists (poets, writers, illustrators...) like you share their thoughts and feelings. I think that (all of) your words DO help people "turn their life around". It would be great if more ...

  • Hi Julio, I just finished the transcription for your post "Is the Criminal Justice System Color Blind" and I have to agree with you in that no, it definitely isn't. The American Dream? Well, it turns out you can only have that dream if you are white, male, and get ...

  • Dear Daniel, I just finished reading your article entitled "A Mindful Approach to Prison Reform". Consider my mind opened. It was a truly insightful article, and your ideas on how to better rehabilitate prisoners are very well-thought-out. I think you have pinpointed the problem in our criminal justice system today, ...
