description: Life Sentences is a collection of poems which speak to the heart of human experience. Dealing largely with situations of physical and emotional tension or crisis, John Reed's poetry unflinchingly tackles a wide range of subjects, including urban despair, loneliness, and disease. This book locates the individual in the midst of events that tend to reduce one's private life story to insignificance. Reed's poetry reveals the effort we all make to resist that reduction though the imaginative construction of our own life sentences
