Enoch Pratt Free Library Writers Live

It was a real pleasure this Wednesday to introduce EPFL Writers Live Guest speaker, Mikita Brottman, author of,  Maximum Security Book Club:Reading Literature in a Men's Prison. After the presentation that was held at the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Baynard Woods, of the City Paper, moderated a lively discussion with Mikita, Vince, one of the original participants in the book club, and the audience. Baynard visited and reported on one of Mikita’s sessions in 2014.

Maximum Security Bookclub

I have just finished reading Mikita Brottman's recently published book: Maximum Security Book Club:Reading Literature in a Men's Prison. http://mikitabrottman.com/ Her honesty in describing the behaviors and reactions of the 9 men who participated in her book club at the Jessup Correctional Institute throws more light on the life of those confined to prisons, not only in Maryland but in the United States.
