Voice of the Forgotten (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798885902649)

Kushamir makes his dreams come true through his poetry. Incarcerated in North Carolina since 2004, Kushamir captures sentimental reactions to life that will make readers sit back and wonder right along with him. His poems require you to think. He refers to subjects with phrases such as picture this, in the sense of a mirage. His poetry compels a reality check to see if he is actually speaking to you or if you are simply mesmerized by his thoughts and his request for respect. His poetry captivates, allowing readers to feel his most sensitive sides as he cries inside. His is truly the voice of the forgotten. These 40 compelling poems are written from the heart of an inmate serving a life sentence whose purpose is to bridge the gap of understanding between prisoners and society. Readers who love Maya Angelo's poems, where each one gives you something to think about as you read, are sure to be blown away by this intelligent poetry collection.
