Her poem is followed by this brief reminder of the story:

Akil Jahi and Abu-Ali Abdur'Rahman have both been living on a death row for a very long time. I have started up a correspondence with Akil, whose letters always leave me breathless with both sorrow and joy. These men have learned to live life to the fullest in ways many of us only hope to be able to do. To learn more about my astonishment at what I found in a death row visiting room, please read this post, and this one. Akil has found his way in what has to be one of the bleakest of places to a state of feeling blessed. He has learned how to mine his traumas for riches. He writes poetry. We can learn so much from both of them.
