In the life and work of Etheridge Knight, the theme of prisons imposed from without (slavery, racism, poverty, incarceration) and prisons from within (addiction, repetition of painful patterns) are countered with the theme of freedom. His poems of suffering and survival, trial and tribute, loss and love testify to the fact that we are never completely imprisoned. Knight's poetry expresses our freedom of consciousness and attests to our capacity for connection to others. Knight was born on 19 April 1931 in Corinth , Mississippi; he was one of seven children. After having dropped out of school in the eight grade, he joined the army in 1947, saw active duty in Korea , where he suffered a shrapnel wound, and was discharged in 1957. Throughout this time he developed an addiction to drugs and alcohol that caused him to turn to crime to support his habit. While wandering around the United States after his discharge, Knight was arrested for robbery in 1960 and served his sentence in the Indiana State Prison , where by chance Gwendolyn Brooks visited him and encouraged his writing. He started writing regularly, supported by members of the Black Arts movement such as

Both parents were mixed-race, and Langston Hughes was of African American, European American and Native American descent. He grew up in a series of Midwestern small towns. Both his paternal and maternal great-grandmothers were African American, and both his paternal and maternal great-grandfathers were white: one of Scottish and one of Jewish descent. Hughes was named after both his father and his grand-uncle, John Mercer Langston who, in 1888, became the first black to be elected to the United States Congress from Virginia. Hughes' maternal grandmother Mary Patterson was of African American, French, English and Native American descent. One of the first women to attend Oberlin College, she first married Lewis Sheridan Leary, also of mixed race. He joined the men in John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859 and died from his wounds. In 1869 Mary Patterson Leary married again, into the elite, politically active Langston family. Her second husband was Charles Henry Langston, of African American, Native American, and Euro-American ancestry. He and his younger brother John Mercer Langston worked for the abolitionist cause and helped lead the Ohio Anti-Slavery Society in 1858.

Knight dropped out of school at the age of fourteen (Magill 419). but his "education in the uses and joys of language continued as he explored the world of juke joints, pool halls and underground poker games" (www.poets.com). When he become seventeen, he joined the army as a medical technical and saw active service in Korea, where he received a scrapnel wound. Treatment for that wound increased his addiction to narcotics.

    Extractions: Back To Britannica The story of African Americans in the United States is one of both immeasurable suffering and soaring hope. Two and a half centuries of slavery and segregation prevented black men and women from exercising the rights of citizenship taken for granted by their white counterparts. It was just over a century ago, in 1909, that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was formed with the aim of abolishing segregation and discrimination in housing, education, employment, voting, and transportation and securing for African Americans their constitutional rights. The struggle for freedom was long and difficult and included, among other tactics, litigation, marches, and sit-ins . It was also almost universally nonviolent, a reflection of the spirit of the leader who came to personify the American civil rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Recent years have been momentous ones in the history of the United States and African Americans, years marking major anniversaries of the civil rights movement and the realization of those dreams at the highest level, with

Books by Etheridge Knight Poems from Prison Black Voices from Prison Belly Song and Other Poems Born of a Woman ... Essential Etheridge Knight Etheridge Knight Speaks Black Aesthetic I think the Black Aesthetic differs from the European Aesthetic mainly . . . because it does not separate art or aesthetics from the other levels of life. It does not separate art from politics, art from economics, art from ethics, or art from religion. Art is a functional and a commercial endeavor. The artist is not separate from the people. If you were to trace the separation of art from life historically, you would trace it back to the Greeks when Plato and others made the “head thing” the ideal—reasoning being the ideal—there was a separation between reason and emotion. There was a separation. It is like people trying to separate church and state. How in the hell can you separate church and state? A man’s politics is determined by how he views the world, how he sees God. Aesthetics, to me, means how one sees beauty, truth and love as they relate to all levels of life—not just watching the sunset, but how one’s politics are dealt with and how one’s economics are dealt with. All art stems basically from economics. All the Western dances and all the songs, that people call classical music grew out of formulas—European formulas.

    Extractions: from Etheridge Knight's "A Poem for 3rd World Brothers" Etheridge Knight was born in Corinth, Mississippi, in 1931. After dropping out of school in eight grade, he began to learn the art of toasts, which is a form of oral improvised poetry. Its roots are found in African poetry and play a major role in shaping Knight’s career as a poet. Having served in the U.S Army in Korea from 1947-951, and suffering a shrapnel wound to the head, Knight began a life-long struggle with drugs. From 1960-1961, Etheridge Knight served a prison sentence for robbery. While in prison, Knight mastered the art of the toast. He honed his talents and learned from outsiders how to become a better poet. Knight was introduced to poet Gwendolyn Brooks who mentored him in his first published work, Poems from Prison (1968). It is in prison he found his audience. Knight would use fellow inmates, prison guards, whomever he could get to listen to his poetry. He even began writing poetry on behalf of his fellow inmates for their spouses or girlfriends.
