  • "Features poets James Autry and Quincy Troupe, both of whom work with the oral tradition to lift poetry off the page and bring it into the community. James Autry, a businessman and publisher, writes poetry about the business world and the Southern culture of his youth. He reads his poetry at a business meeting and a church. Quincy Troupe, a professor of American and Third World literature, enjoys reading his poetry in different settings--classroom, prison, or bar. The positive response of a group of prisoners to Troupe's poetry classes shows how poetry can speak to and for people in all conditions of life. Bill Moyers interviews both poets."@en
