‘By Heart’ Book Trailer

Check out this beautiful book trailer for “By Heart: Poetry, Prison and Two Lives.” It’s a memoir written by our very own training coordinator, Judith Tannenbaum, and her student and friend Spoon Jackson, who is serving a life sentence in San Quentin. The book comes out this April.

Here’s what Gloria Steinem had to say about the book: “A boy with no one to listen becomes a man in prison for life and discovers his mind can be free. A woman enters prison to teach and becomes his first listener. And so begins a twenty-five year friendship between two gifted writers and poets. The result is ‘By Heart’ — a book that will anger you, give you hope, and break your heart.”

We can’t wait to read it!
