Caged Birds Don't Fly

Prison, a time served, a glance at living behind bars from an artistic eye and a poetic voice. Describing everyday ordeals and ideals that have to be compensated for. How perspectives and perceptions change after crossing a social boundary.

Prison having an ‘out of sight, out of mind’, or ‘brushed under the carpet’ ethos, do you ever really give a thought to what some go through, living a life away from the world’s eyes but right in the middle of society still revolving? Probably not, until a family member or friend faces such a circumstance. I’m no ambassador for changing everyone’s views. I paint a picture with poetic words so as to see how such a challenge can affect maybe the common few. No glorifications. I’m merely lending you my eyes, my ears and my soul in my little book of poetic thought and experience.

About the Author

Ashley Newman is a New man, a New author. He has moonlighted as a painter and has always been one beat short of a song, but writing for him is like breathing. Caged Birds Don’t Fly is inspired by his custodial journey in his early life, expressed by poetic means. Ashley hopes that this collection could be read to understand what living in prison is actually like minus the hard person persona it carries. Ashley has left such lifestyle of consequence behind him and is moving forward in life. His writing and family have enabled him to do so.
