I've included this book on both my poetry and drama shelves because of the way Conaway has structured this collection. It's made of fine poems, to be sure, but it's also a dialogue between Conaway the instructor and the imagined voices of four students, all female inmates in a juvenile detention center. I'd love to see this fine drama/poetry staged one day. 
 The individual poems are moving and dark, as the lives and attitudes, but fondness for language, of the characters is revealed.
