Prison Poetry Workshop
Sending radio waves through prison walls we reach an audience with content that may change their life. The Prison Poetry Workshop is the only national radio series linking prisoners to the outside world through the power of poetry. As we listen to these poems we realize they hold a deep significance to our understanding of American culture and its tradition of democratic arts.
