Known by many as the Poet Laureate of America's Damned, Stephen Wayne Anderson had a talent for expressing himself with words – earning himself plenty of awards and admiration despite the fact that his literary masterpieces were written while he awaited execution on death row...In fact, Anderson's knack for language allowed him to innately capture the feelings of despair, hopelessness, and regret that were abundant among the condemned. His elegant prose even led many to believe that he must have been wrongly charged – anyone who could write such brilliant, sympathetic poetry certainly wouldn't have been able to commit the act of murder?
