The Spirit of a Poet John Keith

The Spirit of a Poet was written in the short time that I was incarcerated. Being locked away from society gave me time to reflect and to look inside myself. You will find that there are a few poems in this book that talk about prison. The one that I enjoyed writing the most was To Jail With Me. As I mentioned before in my previous book, when my back is against the wall, I can write some pretty good stuff. However, this time I had to borrow some of my work from Blind Poet to complete this book. I hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as I did writing it. If you find yourself in any of these poems, there is a scripture on the following page to coincide with it.
