The New York Times published this exceptional opinion piece by Robert Lee Williams.
Incarcerated at Eastern NY Correctional Facility, Robert — in addition to his work as an essayist — is a full-time Bard student enrolled through BPI.
Featured in the Times’ “Finding Beauty” series, Robert writes about the loss experienced when trees — young and old, small and large — are felled in a prison yard. The work reminds us of the meaning each of us can make, and the harm any of us can do, as we choose to honor or ignore what is precious around us.
Please, give it a moment.
