Brian Daldorph first entered the Douglas County Jail classroom in Lawrence, Kansas, to teach a writing class on Christmas Eve 2001. His last class at the jail for the foreseeable future was mid-March 2020, right before the COVID-19 lockdown; the virus is taking a heavy toll in confined communities like nursing homes and prisons. Words Is a Powerful Thing is Daldorph’s record of teaching at the jail for the two decades between 2001 and 2020, showing how the lives of everyone involved in the class—but especially the inmates who came to class week after week—benefited from what happened every Thursday afternoon in that jail classroom, where for two hours inmates and instructor became a circle of ink and blood, writing together, reciting their poems, telling stories, and having a few good laughs. Words Is a Powerful Thing brings into the light the works of fifty talented inmate writers whose work deserves attention. Their poetry speaks of “what really matters” to all of us and gives the reader sustained insight into the role that creativity plays in aiding survival and bringing positive change for inmates, and, in turn, for all of us. Daldorph’s account of his teaching experience not only takes the reader inside the daily life at a county jail but also sets the work done in the writing class within the larger context of inmate education is the US corrections system, where education is often one of the few lifelines available to inmates. Words Is a Powerful Thing provides a teaching guide for instructors working with incarcerated writers, offering an extensive examination of both the challenges and benefits. When Brian Daldorph decided the story of his classroom experiences and the great writing produced by the inmates deserved to be told to wider audiences, he struggled with how to bring it all together. Not long after, an inmate wrote a poem titled “Words Is a Powerful Thing,” offering Daldorph a title, concept, and purpose: to show that the poetry of inmates speaks not just to other inmates but to all of us.

Words are quite a powerful thing, right? They are just words until we dress them up with emotion, flavor, life, passion, meaning. We give the words we speak meaning. These are the words I couldn't say to you. These are the words I thought about saying to you. These are the words I wrote and erased, wrote and erased. These are the words I couldn't turn into lyrics for once, but rather turned them into part pain, part poetry. painful, positive, powerful, poetry. These are the words I finally told you, and by your response, which was no response, for years on end, is why I wrote this book. Here are the words I couldn't say to you, then finally told you, now I'm using the love I had for you for all those years and using it to love myself. Thank you. the woman who had so many things to say but you never gave her the time of day to say it.

If you want to change your life, change your language. Change your ideas. Change your inner thoughts. Change the words that you accept to be spoken about you. Change the words that you speak because words have power. The words we use can either drive us to greatness or reduce us to powerlessness. Using words strategically in your personal and professional life can change your trajectory. Roger W. Davis, adopted off a television show entitled A Child is Waiting, was labeled a below-average child. Yet, he stunned even his biggest critics and doubters when he became one of the youngest doctoral graduates at 29 years old. His love of the English language and his use of words have guided him to maneuver a path of continual success. Currently, he serves as the first African American President at the Community College of Beaver County in Monaca, Pennsylvania. Davis shares many of the words he uses daily to create an environment of progress, positivity, and power. The 30 Most Powerful Words offers advice, wisdom, opportunities, tools, and strategies to create, reinvent, and engineer the life you so richly deserve.
