His little poem led to filling a hardcover black notebook with a full rushing cascade of penned poetry. He named his notebook Crimson Stain. Oakland performance poet Dee Allen gives us Crimson Stain-a collection brimming with a plethora of divergent themes that re-ignited his long-lost passion for writing: Worldwide spread of blood diamonds from Africa, activism, real estate gentrification, homelessness, political prisoners, war, Islamophobia, dedication to a viceless life, love for underground culture, abuses from the police and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 18, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46590106960069,"sku":"9798989876426","price":27.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/zxc4MIHaJk9798989876426.webp?v=1784979179","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/crimson-stain-poems-inspired-by-kings-letter-from-jail-real-life-a-facet-of-blood-diamond-culture-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
