My oldest nephew, Rodriguez, is serving a life sentence in prison. He recently informed me that he writes poetry. I asked why he never mentioned it before because I study prison writing. He said I never mentioned that to him, so how was he supposed to know?? LOL!
In any case, he sent some of his work to me and I was pleasantly surprised. I had no idea my "Big Neph", as he likes to sign his letters, had skills! He writes mainly about love - longing for and losing it - and the man he's become and is becoming.
I'm sharing some of my favorite pieces in separate posts on this blog. "Big Neph" wants to know what you think, so feel free to comment.
