Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was only a child, ten years of age, when I was first incarcerated in the juvenile prison system. Locked up in a small brick cage with a solid wood door containing a thick, shatterproof glass window. So began the journey that would lead me here – to DEATH ROW. I’m simply just Herminio Serna now, who was “consciously awakened” to this living nightmare of awaiting execution, here on California’s Death Row, in San Quentin State Prison. Incarcerated since August 1991. Condemned to this death in November 1997 after a six year trial. Held in isolation, solitary confinement, while undergoing that sham appearance of a trial. And once condemned I was buried alive here, in a concrete cage, entombed inside the entrails of this beast, inside the infamous Adjustment Center, (San Quentin’s “Hole”/S.H.U.) for another fourteen years. A total of 20 years – two decades of “unusual cruelty.” As if the death penalty wasn’t enough of a punishment!

Book excerpt: This anthology was inspired by efforts to abolish Washington State's death penalty by using the power of poetry. The poems were chosen for their intention to evoke empathy, to open minds and hearts to the fate of individuals on death row and the individuals directly affected by their crimes. Poets from around the United States address the sentiment in Bryan Stevenson's book Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption: "The death penalty is not about whether people deserve to die for the crimes they commit. The real question of capital punishment in this country is, do we deserve to kill?" Poet and author of Instrument of Gaps, writes, "...when the scales we turn to for justice are weighed down and sagging, there is no longer a possibility of balance. It becomes our responsibility to call our laws into question, to demand change. We must acknowledge the words of the dying, 'I am human. I am a human being.' We all are human beings, and this book cries out for this to be heard. This book asks each of us to not turn our heads." Mike Farrell, best known as BJ Hunnicutt of M*A*S*H and president of the board of Death Penalty Focus, an abolition organization based in California, writes, "...in Strange Fruit, the complex web of emotions capital punishment evokes is beautifully rendered. It's an emotional journey that will remind you with each step the urgent need to abolish this horror once and for all." Contributors: Norma Bishop, Summer Brenner, Sharon M.

Wilkerson and Johnson, separately and together, bear witness to the modern atrocity that is the death penalty.

Book excerpt: In your hands are 3 separate works of poetry that Kenneth Foster Jr. wrote at different points of his life. They have been forged together to give an overview of his struggle, growth, release from death row and current view of life in prison now off of death row. Inside you will find 3 pieces of work:* Tribulation's Eyes was written in 2000 and released in 2001. These are the very first poems he ever wrote in his life.* Texas Tears is the second book that he wrote. * 08-30-07 may be the most special of them all as these are poems that are his voice in the celebration of his exit from death row.He closes this collection of work off with a few poems that highlight his views, feelings and beliefs about the prison system. General Population is extremely different from segregated housing, especially from death row. The mentalities, principles and lifestyles have been a challenge to deal with. But, one thing unchanged is what the Prison Industrial Complex is about. He sees it and he can only pray to help others see it. These last poems describe him and what he sees amongst it all.Kenneth Foster Jr. remains relentlessly fighting against his life sentence. Many across the world believe he has paid his debt to society. His support team remains vigilant for any avenue (legal or otherwise) that can free him. In the face of these challenges, he remains dedicated to change the Law of Parties (the statute that allowed him to be sentenced to death) with the hopes it'll help save the lives of others sentenced to die though they never killed anyone nor intended a life to be taken.Having been incarcerated since 1996, prison and political activism has become embedded in Kenneth's DNA. He remains active with his work to shed light on mass incarceration through his writings.

Book excerpt: To be a poet is to create and march to one's own beat. To be a poet against the malignant rhythm of this godforsaken prison, is a revolutionary act governed by a love greater than the hate Pete is so often forced to bear. Pete is a poet. He is not beyond a prisoner's burden, but he refuses to allow it to define him. From a broken and bruised place, Pete's poems are butterflies that cannot be confined. This collection of 100 poems is an embodiment of his perseverance and a reflection of our struggle as a species. - Howard Guidry
