#6- Patxi the poet

Patxi comes from the roughest areas of the Basque Contry. His has always been a violent life of crime, and because he started being a regular guest of correctional facilities at eight, he just couldn’t develop a taste for the finer things in life.

All this changed, however, on his last stint in prison, where he was assigned to the library. In the long, lonely hours, he discovered Jane Austen, Walt Whitman, Aresti and de Otero. Now his life has changed. He would like to become a writer of some sort, and considers crime “jus a day job” to help meet ends while he hones his craft.
