Terrance Hayes discusses "Poems from Prison" as part of the spring Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry. The series seeks to provide leading poets with the opportunity to explore in depth their own thinking on the subject of poetry and poetics. A selection of poems by Etheridge Knight will be the basis for Hayes's discussion exploring the relationship between creativity and constraint.
