words after dark: the scent of books II

In my video series, Words After Dark, I read my writing—pieces from my memoir and excerpts out of From the Dust—and works from some of my favorite authors.

In this video, I read an excerpt out of From the Dust from the first piece in the collection titled, The Scent of Books.

“The start of measuring the years in prison sentences and release dates. Back to marking days on the calendar with sloppy red X’s. In and out and back again. Lost days.”

If you enjoy these videos, please consider ordering From the Dust, if you haven’t already.
