Caged: Memoirs of a Cage-Fighting Poet

Memoirs of a warrior poet, indeed; it makes me think about my own discipline, and also about my relationships with family. Interested in Poetry? Mixed Martial Arts? Strained Father-Son dynamics? This could be the book for you.

From my full review:

Cameron Conaway is a poet (a book and a chapbook forthcoming in 2012 from Salmon Poetry and Finishing Line Press) and was, for a time, a cage-fighting mixed-martial artist. He is also the sensitive son of an abusive father. And that triple-threat combination has resulted in this suspenseful, inspiring memoir that is partly a guide to health and nutrition and partly encouragement for all who might find solace in literature for the challenges that life presents.
