Following on the heels of the highly successful ‘Upon This Chessboard of Nights and Days: Voices from Texas Death Row’, which enjoyed international exposure through a ‘Voice of America’ piece that appeared on television, radio, and the Internet, this sequel introduces readers once again to the world of the inmates who sit on Texas Death Row, awaiting their date with death. The first book focused exclusively on nonfiction prose and art, whereas this second book presents an even greater range of their creative expressions through fiction, poetry, and art. Readers will be amazed to discover the level of talent that resides among these forgotten members of society who do, indeed, live in another world.
