Keeshawn Crawford was born in 1973 in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Having made it no further than the tenth grade, he found himself learning the lessons of life inside the state penitentiary of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Determined to help prevent youth from experiencing such a hard reality, Mr. Crawford quietly gathered wisdom from elders and poetically placed what he had learned in books so that the world could see the beauty of an incarcerated soul. Mr. Crawford's first book is Reclaimed: Everlasting Wisdom, and he is currently working on Traits and Emotions of a Salvageable Soul, Volume II, with his eyes set on becoming a certified peer assistant.
