Etheridge Knights' Poems from Prison

In its 40th year we celebrate the work of Etheridge Knight, Poems from Prison. Knight the Poet Laureate of Martin University and great writer/orator, has been studied all across the world and has roots here in Indianapolis, so it is our job to support our own. In honor of Knight comes the "Return of the Free People's Workshop," and "Inner - Act " Thursday, January 3, at 7PM "Return of the Free People's Workshop"will feature Hermenegildo with special guest and will be hosted by jazz poet Michael Collins. On Friday, January 4, 7PM Inner-Act will put a new spin on visual arts, spoken word, and open mic. Purchases of art work by the host Mijiza Yaa Soyini will be available. Both nights you can purchase poetry, and CD's of Etheridge reading his most noted poems for $15.00. Both events will be held at Earth House Coffee and Books, located in the rear of Lockerbie Central United Methodist Church 237North East Street. Donations accepted.

Free people ain't cheap/ but must be bought./ the price: a pint/ of blood, or so the poet sings./ Blood and free people/ must be allowed/ to mingle wherever/ they naturally flow./ And so the jazzman plays.
