YOUNG BLACK POETS FIND A REFUGE AT L.A. WORKSHOP
1993
Overview
The poets included homeless people, Muslim activists and graduate students. Some brought children. Their verses described memories of rape, the Reginald Denny beating during the Los Angeles riots and \"brothers with white girls.\" Some were funny. Some were sexy. Many were angry. [Michael Datcher] searched for a forum to read his poetry when he moved to Los Angeles, but he said mostly white people attended readings, and their cultural references were different from his. The intimacy comes in part from the workshop's nurturing mission -- [Ruth Forman] and other formally trained poets are asked to help young writers who want to say more than they know how to express.
