it takes Hard Rock "exactly 3 minutes to tell you his first name."The poems of [Etheridge] Knight's that I cherish most--with lines more lyrical than narrative--show how a prisoner's affliction can push him painfully inside himself. Like Dickinson, whom he loved, he often uses capitalization and line breaks to startling effect.
