My Naked Soul
The Wav Forward Is with a Broken Heart
A/v Naked Soul is a startling autobiography o f a Black
recovering addict. Bom in 1950, in Bakersfield, California,
Savon Lindsey began writing poetry when he started second
grade in elementary school. As an adult he became an
alcoholic and drug addict. His works speak of an America
that has been ripped apart by alcoholism, drug use and
addiction, as
w ell as an
A m erica ad ­
dicted to pun­
ishm ent and
imprisonment.
He is the voice
o f an America
we disow n,
shut away and
lock up b e ­
cause it reveals
the estrange­
m ent
and
l o n e l in e s s
beneath the
mask o f eco­
nomic pros­
perity.
