i lost a poem is a book of deeply felt lyrics, expressed in straightforward language. The poems describe the violence and bleakness of prison life, but also explore love, sexuality and religious feeling.

The simplicity of the language that he uses and his ability to draw deeply from his everyday life is enviable. […] There is hardly a misspent word in any of the poems. Writing with such economy is an accomplishment for a first volume.
– Andrew Martin, Wordstock
