Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)if charles bukowski had spent 7 yrs in prison he might've written a book like this; by turns sardonic, tough, witty, angry, and with an underlying sadness, it is a major accomplishment from an important new voice in american poetry. STONE HOTEL takes the reader on a tour of hell but never preaches or complains or fails to enlighten the reader about what life in a modern american prison at the end of the 20th century is like. this is an important book. i couldn't put it down!

Raegan Butcher, undeniably influenced by such luminaries as Bukowski and Bunker, manages to find his own voice in these poems and uses it to avoid the clichés of prison writing while delivering a truly authentic record of his time behind bars. His simple and direct style makes his work immediately accessible both to those who shun traditional poetry, and experienced poetry readers alike, and the story told in these pages is as compelling as it is genuine. Stone Hotel is a no frills ride through one man's experience in the United States prison system and all of the lunacy, horror and meditation that entails.
