Synopsis

In this book of 69 poems, divided into four chapters, I wanted to burrow deep into my soul, through a process of the self-examination of my masculine psyche, my political consciousness and world views??shaped and mortised by my almost two decades long confinement on Pennsylvania's Death Row. The reader is given a front seat on a fast-moving train fleeting through the disconcerted lives of the women in Afghanistan, Death Row, a misguided young black juvenile's dreams, a frustrated would-be actress driven to murder, a bi-racial teen's suicide, my own crack-addicted sister's tortured life??and the tragic events of September 11, 2001, which shocked the consciousness of the nation and the world. Inside My Head is not just another glimpse of the topography of my mind??but raw testimony for readers far beyond these prison walls.
