>*Escaping the Prism … Fade to Black* is a collection of Jalil’s poetry and essays, written from behind the bars of Attica prison. Combining the personal and the political, these texts afford readers with a rare opportunity to get to know a man who has spent most of his life—over forty years—behind bars for his involvement in the Black Liberation Movement of the 1960s and early 1970s. - [AK Press](https://www.akpress.org/escaping-the-prism-fade-to-black.html)
