Many different voices eminating from the vast mind and heart of Mr. Knight. From Hard Rock to Ibu, the songs in this book should be heard by everyone. Amazing The poem Belly Song is one of the most powerful and beautiful poems I have ever read. I have a recording of Knight reading it, and it is even more stunning when spoken. This is one of my favorite volumes of poetry that I own. Words Thick as Mississippi Mud fist discovered him as a sophmore in college, in an anthology called " the black poets " then read "belly song" and "the essential etheridge knight..." while some of his poetry related to his prision experience, he never allowed his mind to become a prison, so he was always free. you can't go wrong with any of the poems in this collection; my personal favorites are "the idea of ancestry," and " he sees through stone." with words as thick as mississippi mud, etheridge " sang" america.

Adopt a Poet Add to Notebook E-mail to Friend Print Etheridge Knight Etheridge Knight was born in Corinth, Mississippi, in 1931. Although he dropped out of school at age sixteen (as soon as he was old enough to join the army), his education in the uses and joys of language continued as he explored the world of juke joints, pool halls, and underground poker games. He began to master the art of the toast, a form of long, improvised, humorous poetry that dates back to the 19th century and has its roots in African storytelling. From 1947 to 1951, Knight served in the U.S. Army in Korea, and returning with a shrapnel wound that caused him to fall deeper into a drug addiction that had begun during his service. In 1960 he was arrested for robbery and sentenced to eight years in the Indiana State Prison. During this time he began writing poetry, and he corresponded with and received visits from such established African American literary figures as Dudley Randall and Gwendolyn Brooks Dudley Randall's Broadside Press published Poems from Prison (1968), Etheridge Knight's first book, one year before he was released from prison.

One of seven children, Knight dropped out of school after ninth grade and fell into a life of low-paying menial jobs and long nights in taverns and pool halls, where he first turned to alcohol and drugs as a means of escape. In an effort to find a more fulfilling life, Knight joined the U.S. Army in 1947. He later served as a medical technician during the Korean War, during which he was badly injured by shrapnel. The drugs that doctors used to treat Knight's wounds reawakened the chemical addictions that Knight had fought before joining the military.
