Darrell B. Grayson (February 26, 1961 - July 26, 2007)
Poet Darrell B. Grayson was executed in Alabama on July 26. He was 46 years old. He was sent sentenced to death at age 19. Three days before his execution, he sent Helen Losse a poem to read and post, a poem he felt to be life-affirming. She posted “Jumping Trains” on the day of his execution.
Helen has a moving series of posts on this event on Windows Toward the World, a blog that deserves your attention at all times.
Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty will continue its work.
