Knight: The People's Poet By Amy Lifson "Etheridge Knight had been saved by poetry," wrote fellow poet Yusef Komunyakaa about the black veteran and convict who was reborn as a poet. Komunyakaa is one of the lecturers in a series at Butler University honoring Knight, an Indianapolis poet who died in 1991 at the age of seventy. Knight's poetry was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and helped define the modern black literary movement of the sixties. Upcoming speakers are poet Mari Evans on February 9, Komunyakaa on March 19, and Henry Louis Gates on April 16. Knight began writing poetry while he was in prison, serving a seven-year sentence for robbery. He was twenty-nine years old when he was sent to prison. His poetry grew out of the African- American tradition called "toasts"long, recited poems that describe street life, usually in rhyming couplets. In an interview for the Colorado Review in 1987, Knight described his literary birth. "I first began to define myself as a poet in prison. Guys in the joint were my first primary audience. I was sending poems to guys in the joint before I started sending them anyplace else. If you can play a guitar or paint or say poems, you have an audience. And you get affirmed. I got a lot of support. Guys thought I functioned like a village scribe. On weekends, they would come to me and bring their letters, and I was supposed to be a poet so they'd have me write letters to their wives and sweethearts. You got to do a lot of relating if you're going to do

Contact April 19 Etheridge Knight On this date we remember the birth of Etheridge Knight in 1931. He was an African-American poet who emerged as a strong voice of the black aesthetic movement. His poetry combined the energy and audacity of African-American "toasts" (long verses that were recited in a mixture of street slang, specialized argot, and obscenities) with a concern for freedom from oppression. Knight was born in Corinth, Mississippi, grew up in Paducah, Kentucky. He dropped out of high school, became addicted to drugs, and joined the U.S. Army, serving as a medical technician in the Korean War. Arrested for robbery in 1960, Knight was imprisoned for eight years, an experience that he recounted in verse in Poems from Prison 1968, and in prose in the anthology Black Voices from Prison 1970; originally published two years earlier in Italian as Voce Negre Dal Carcere After his release from prison, Knight taught at various universities and contributed to several magazines, working for two years as an editor of

Etheridge Knight (1931-1991) Biography and Accolades: Etheridge Knight was born in Corinth, Mississippi, in 1931. He dropped out of school at the age of sixteen and joined the military. While serving in Korea, he acquired a drug habit that followed him back to the states in 1951. In 1960, he was arrested for robbery and sentenced to eight years in the Indiana State Prison. It was here that Knight began writing poetry. He corresponded with other African American poets of the time like Dudley Randall and Gwendolyn Brooks. He published his first book of poetry, Poems From Prison (1968), while he was still incarcerated. His book was a success and afterward he became deeply involved in the Black Arts Movement. Knight's other books and presentations were both popular and critically acclaimed, and throughout his career he received honors from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Poetry Society of America. He was also one of five Tennessee writers featured in the Memphis Public Library's Talking Leaves video series. Knight earned a bachelor's degree in American poetry and criminal justice from Martin Center University in Indianapolis in 1990, but only one year later in 1991, he died of lung cancer.
