Keith Hell is a storyteller whose endeavors are recorded in poetry, prose, and music. The poems contained within have been selected from his personal diaries written between 1998 and 2007. They are a chronicle of his misanthropic experiences with addiction, incarceration, and the people and places that affected him during that portion of his life...that he never expected to survive. He currently lives in Charleston, West Virginia, where he continues to write, record music, and spend time with his wife, three dogs and two cats.
