Celebrate the release of Like a Hammer: Poets on Mass Incarceration, Haymarket Books’ anthology of writers speaking on the United States prison-industrial complex. Contributors Randall Horton, Angel Nafis, and Evie Shockley read powerful poems of witness which seek to address the oppressive systems that make up the US prison-industrial complex. Like A Hammer explores how art and imagination can serve as vehicles for endurance, offering us the hope to envision a better future. As part of this event, there will be a screening of a selection of films co-produced by the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation. These short films showcase Randall Horton, Evie Shockley and others, performing their own work, and in some cases, sharing the work of an incarcerated peer poet, from the Like a Hammer anthology.
