Neuware - 'In Limbo, From African Slave to Honored Grave, Robin Taylor-Chiarello's poetry combines with the artistry of Steven Lester to create a book that elegantly illustrates one man's journey from slave to freed man. Sharing the horrors of slavery through this man's story lends grace to a book which focuses on the importance of individual and group human interactions on society, and on the value of all human life.
