“Doing time.” For prison writers, it means more than serving a sentence; it means staying alive and sane, preserving dignity, reinventing oneself, and somehow retaining one’s humanity. For the last quarter century the prestigious writers’ organization PEN has sponsored a contest for writers behind bars to help prisoners face these challenges. Bell Chevigny, a former prison teacher, has selected the best of these submissions from over the last 25 years to create Doing Time: 25 Years of Prison Writing—a vital work, demonstrating that prison writing is a vibrant part of American literature. This new edition will contain updated biographies of all contributors. The 51 original prisoners contributing to this volume deliver surprising tales, lyrics, and dispatches from an alien world covering the life span of imprisonment, from terrifying initiations to poignant friendships, from confrontations with family to death row, and sometimes share extraordinary breakthroughs. With 1.8 million men and women—roughly the population of Houston—In American jails and prisons, we must listen to “this small country of throwaway people,” in Prejean’s words. Doing Time frees them from their sentence of silence. We owe it to ourselves to listen to their voices.

By quadrupling the number of people behind bars in two decades, the United States has become the world leader in incarceration. Much has been written on the men who make up the vast majority of the nation’s two million inmates. But what of the women they leave behind? Doing Time Together vividly details the ways that prisons shape and infiltrate the lives of women with husbands, fiancés, and boyfriends on the inside. Megan Comfort spent years getting to know women visiting men at San Quentin State Prison, observing how their romantic relationships drew them into contact with the penitentiary. Tangling with the prison’s intrusive scrutiny and rigid rules turns these women into “quasi-inmates,” eroding the boundary between home and prison and altering their sense of intimacy, love, and justice. Yet Comfort also finds that with social welfare weakened, prisons are the most powerful public institutions available to women struggling to overcome untreated social ills and sustain relationships with marginalized men. As a result, they express great ambivalence about the prison and the control it exerts over their daily lives. An illuminating analysis of women caught in the shadow of America’s massive prison system, Comfort’s book will be essential for anyone concerned with the consequences of our punitive culture.

God’s love and life’s hardships are evident in our backyard gardens. From the transformation of seeds, through battles with weeds, to the use of the fruit, gardens are an apt metaphor for the Christian life. Betsy Davies walks us through the seasons and the lessons she learns through each of them. No matter what is happening in her garden - transformation, growth, weeds, predators, fruit, or no fruit - Betsy relates how they reflect scripture and what we can learn about the nature of God and his love for us. Betsy also shares her struggles to garden alone after her husband’s death. Together they planted, tended, and harvested gardens for thirty years. Her grief and her efforts to continue the garden are poignant reminders of God’s call for us to persevere. You don’t need to be a gardener to relate to the stories Betsy tells. If you have ever planted a seed, watered a plant, or picked a flower you are aware of the wonder evident in growing plants. If you have ever sat under a tree you can related to God’s providence through nature. Join Betsy as she shares what she has learned in the garden. In her new book Garden Devotions, Betsy Davies gives readers inspiring paths to growth through her experiences in tilling the soil and relating that to enriching words from Scripture. I was encouraged and rewarded by her analogies, and I think you will be as well. —Etta Wilson, Agent and Editor Recently, I stumbled across the phrase, “Seeds for Growth,” and could not imagine a more fitting depiction for “Garden Devotions”. If you are willing to be challenged to grow in your faith, be uncomfortable, a bit achy, messy, and dirty, then you have stumbled into the perfect garden! Thank you, Betsy, for this inspiring devotional which has meant more than you can possibly know to so many! —Ellie Billington, Elder, First Presbyterian Church, Nashville, TN
