Alone in solitary confinement, a teenager called out: “Somebody, send me a book!”

Moments later, Dudley Randall’s The Black Poets slid under his cell door. Those pages were the start of the teen’s transformation into a poet, lawyer and promoter of the rights of prisoners. Now, 20 years to the day of his release from prison on March 4, 2005, Reginald Dwayne Betts explores the experience and consequences of his incarceration in a compelling new solo performance based on his American Book Award-winning poetry collection, Felon: An American Washi Tale, with conversation to follow.

Betts, a MacArthur “Genius” Fellow and founder of the nonprofit organization, Freedom Reads, brings his story on the importance of mercy, the realities of life after prison and the role art and literature can play in the fight for justice to the PAC NYC stage.
