Ink from the Pen is the story of an educated, HIV+ gay man whose decades-long walk on the wild side came crashing down in 2004, when he found himself facing nine months in prison for dealing the crystal meth he’d become addicted to during the worst of the AIDS epidemic. An accomplished writer, Olmsted soon discovered his love of words was precisely what would get him through the experience. With a keen eye for the finely-observed detail and an unerring capacity to deftly convey the poignancy and absurdities of incarceration, Mark learned that creativity is one of the most powerful survival tools there is.

I think this is a phenomenal account of Mark's experiences. In a world where truth is under siege so much,' Ink from the Pen' is manna from heaven. It's courageously open-hearted, insightful and honest. And Mark's use of language is just fabulous.

Honest, gripping, inspiring, entertaining
