Timothy J. Muise is a lifer at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution (MCI). He is an inside-the-walls prison rights activist. He advocates through Timothy’s Blog, where the posts include his penetrating poetry. His poem “Going ‘Home,’” for example, is clean, crisp, and laden with the impact of time. Timothy’s words present a constrained image of reality coupled with a stronger resolve to find a meaning of home. He expresses the hollow feelings resulting from doing time without a compass leading to a productive life. The poem is written in the voice of a man who is about to leave prison after doing significant time there.
