Christopher Donaldson, Jr.
Published by KO Publishers: A subsidiary of Multicultural International Development Company (MIDC, LLC.)
Edited by
Karen B. McLean Dade, Ed.D., Editor
Darcy Crosman, Ed.D., Associate Editor
(From the intro: “Chris has been using poetry to document his experiences behind bars, to make the best of his time while he is there, and to keep his sanity as a still young man. Although Chris is not physically free, he is discovering a freedom—both mentally and spiritually—through his writing process. . . .The 25th hour is a reminder what’s truly important in life, as in “I liberate myself by enjoying life at the present moment.” And although it’s clear that Chris is in time, doing time, and very conscious of time, in his valuing the present as a precious gift, his reflections suggest that he is thinking about his life in a perspective that is beyond time. The 25th hour is about facing an unknown future. It’s also about true surrender and is an homage to God; as such it evokes the spirit of the book.”)
