The response brought together a wide range of voices, with contributions moving between poetry, personal reflection, humour, observation, and fragments of storytelling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with the spirit of the project, the book itself was also produced within the prison system. It was printed at a prison that has a print studio, meaning that both the writing and the physical object were created within the same environment that shaped the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than presenting a single narrative about incarceration, Once Upon a Time gathers many perspectives. Some texts reflect on memory, relationships, and life beyond the prison walls. Others focus on the immediate rhythms of confinement. Together they form a record of expression emerging from a place where opportunities to be heard are often limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bang Up Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56897756037506,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/files\/IMG_7339079.jpg?v=1788964451","url":"https:\/\/goodpress.co.uk\/products\/once-upon-a-time-an-anthology-of-prison-writing","provider":"Good Press — good books \u0026 more","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
