Sinopsis
Life Lines is an audio journal of poetry, spoken word, and other creative writing by men on North Carolinas Death Row. Life Lines is about connection. Its about finding surprising spaces to share endangered, beautiful life. Its about recognizing our power and our powerlessness to give and take life. We feature three new pieces each week, words which we hope invite communion, however limited and imperfect, with those struggling to live inside state prisons. Because of state laws restricting access to prisons, the authors record these poems by phone. As you listen carefully, let the line static become a reminder of all the lines race, class, iron bars and barbed wire weve constructed between ourselves. If we allow them, these pieces can open new, shared spaces for us in spite of these boundaries, if only for a moment. Take a chance with us: listen.
