http://www.reginaldslewis.org/ review of Where I'm Writing From by Gretel DeRuiter Copyright 2006

Reginald S. Lewis has been held on Death Row in Pennsylvania at SCI Greene since 1983. He is an award winning african american poet, playwright, short story writer, and essayist. He has won three awards in P.E.N. American Center Writing Awards for prisoners. His semi-autobiographical, anti-death penalty play, "An Affinity for Angels," was selected for the 4th Annual Juneteenth Festival of new works, June 17, 2000, at the Actor's Theatre of Louisville. He has also authored two self-published collections of poems titled "Leaving Death Row," and "Inside My Head." This site contains many samples of his writing, detailed information about his legal situation, serves as a repository for his legal defense fund and book sales, and is dedicated to his struggle, hopefully his freedom.
