Sitting around a microphone on the second story of an old Nashville home near 12 South, a train goes by causing us to pause, with some amusement and a little nostalgia. Amara shares her experience creating a poetry class and curriculum for female inmates. She’s a model, a musician, songwriter, record promoter, and she still finds time to bring some joy into the prison system. I was struck by her compassion and love for the inmates and her desire to inspire and encourage them by creating a safe space where they could learn and express themselves. Thus, Safe Place Poetry Circle.
