It was an honor to help edit/design this memoir of @jdmathes.bsky.social’s life after incarceration, and I’m happy it’s being shared with the world⛓️‍💥

The book is made all the more amazing by his daughter Sophia Mathes’s gorgeous artwork 🎨

Release for #oftimeandpunishment is fast approaching!

“Of Time and Punishment is edgy and redemptive, prosaic and straight-shooting, frustrating and beautiful, political and personal, and a damn good read.”
