A Place to Stand

The Making of a Poet

Jimmy Santiago Baca
At 21 Baca was illiterate and facing a jail sentence for selling drugs; he emerged from prison with a passion for writing poetry. In this memoir he recalls his transformation from ‘a poor kid with too much anger and the wrong skin color’ to multi-award-winning poet, detailing his early childhood with an alcoholic father, the time he spent in jail – much of it in isolation – and the years immediately following his release.
