"Growing up in one of the most notorious neighborhoods in Brooklyn isn’t easy, but for a long time it seemed as if Prince Poet Washington might defy those odds.
Sixteen years ago, his father abandoned the family, so Poet has always felt a sense of responsibility.

It’s not easy, but as a loyal son and brother, Poet feels it’s his obligation to take care of his family.

The Killer Poet is a poignant story about a misguided young man torn between two factors: his allegiance to his family and doing whatever it takes to survive in the streets. Unfortunately, Poet is forced to make a deadly choice—a choice that could cost many lives, including his own."
