As someone who is not opposed to, but does not typically read, poetry, I thought this was okay. The poems were good overall. I would have liked more from the introductions of the women. Some were just vague impressions of the women; most didn't even mention their incarceration. I found it difficult to connect with the poetry when I knew so little about the subjects. Still, some of the poems are so powerful regardless of the context.
