Reflections From the Inside

About the Book

A stripped-down testimony to the hardships one man faces and the origins from which they came, Reflections from the Inside is a raw expression of depression, abuse, and perseverance. Written from his bunk behind the bars of an Ohio jail cell, this collection of poetry captures the details of Eric Allen’s journey from traumatized youth, to mentor and coach, to inmate. It is an artistic onslaught of emotion. The highs are as bountiful as the lows as Eric Allen reflects on his life and how he’s ended up here.
