36 Years of Solitude

How far would you go to gain a sense of belonging in a world that rejects you simply because of who you are or where you're from? For the author, it was taking someone's life.Having committed the ultimate crime, Antonio finds himself surrounded by hardened criminals and guilt. Rather than accepting his fate and living the rest of his life in prison, he spends his time writing his way to personal redemption and, eventually, freedom.Spanning a lifetime of hurt, anger, love, regret, and self-exploration, the poems in 36 Years in Solitude: Writings from Prison and Beyond offer a glimpse into the life of a man who refused to accept the original path laid before him and continues to search for meaning, healing, and purpose beyond the walls that once confined him.
