This book was hand written in letters through the mail to a friend who would type them up and mail them back to me to edit and resend. The content was written over a year incarcerated fighting two strikes for violence around drug and alcohol addiction and compiled upon my release and during recovery into this book. It is a collection of creative non-fiction, essay, fiction, and poetry.

"Incarcerated" by Tavius Dyer is poetry, creative essay and memoir written in a flair that is much like the intensive drama of the highly expose, and successful, write-it-while-you-live-it journalistic style of Hunter S. Thompson. The difference is in the personality, of course, as that of "Incarcerated" is a journey of a young angry man finding, stumbling, dancing, and almost dying, his way through the blood, tears and frustration of emotional and mental predictiments. Many of his heart wrenching experiences alienate him from those he loves, which is point where his poetry reaches his audience most deeply, but it's not the only extraordinary aspect of Dyer's style. He seems to understand mental health issues, recovery and the fall from grace in ways that may help others find their path along the dark and dimly lit road of life. Maybe some of his ideas and desires clash with what is "good" for him, so to speak, but he carries on toward the prominent... More > trascendental experience that is mirrored through his creative talents, random verse and musicial juxtapostions. If you are looking for a fresh take on the personal revelation of bare-it-all in the most raw form, then Dyer's "Incarcerated" is the right place to begin. Put your helmet on, you will need it.
