In November 2023, Coffee House Press released
American Precariat: Parables of Exclusion, an anthology of essays edited by a collective of incarcerated writers involved in the
Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop. The volume interrogates the complexity and fluidity of class and caste systems in the United States, and includes transcribed conversations of the editors discussing each essay. In the latest
Works of Justice podcast, two of the editors,
C. Fausto Cabrera and
Zeke Caligiuri, talk about how they developed a friendship rooted in writing while incarcerated, what they did to bring writing programs into Minnesota prisons, and the history of how the volume came to be.
