Albert Woodfox with his book Solitary

On His book Solitary:

From More2Read Review:

A terrible tragedy within these pages and tale of empowerment and not allowing the prison to shape him, an inspiring struggle, this is a journey a portrait of a young to older man in incarceration and despite it all, compassion remains, courage and a fortified human being with unbreakable will.

Musician Focus

Colin Stetson

A musician I learned of from his great soundtrack for the Hereditary movie. The movie screenplay has a Bram Stoker Award Nomination for Superior Achievement in a Screenplay. This is a great track to listen to whilst reading or writing.

 Artist Focus

This is a new recommendation on an artist who has been doing some nice artwork for books, events, and authors.

Check out this dragon work just in time for Game of Thrones new season.
