SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 2005: The PEN Prison Writing Committee hosts this hour celebrating the 2004 Awards for contributions from incarcerated writers. Featuring Felipe Luciano, Susan Rosenberg, Michael Keck, Eric Watters and Belle Chevigny.
PEN's Prison Writing Program American Center invites you to tune into the celebration of our 32nd annual literary contest for incarcerated men and women nationwide.

Former contest winners, writers,and actors will read from a selection of winning manuscripts. These poems, plays, and stories shed powerful light on the experience of the 2.1 million behind bars, a nation hidden in our midst. Thirty-six winners, incarcerated in eighteen states, were chosen from 1100 manuscripts submitted to the competition.

As seven winners are imprisoned in Texas--which boasts the largest prison system in the country--we will offer a special segment on that state. You will hear work by writers protesting Texas' restrictions on free speech and a surprising essay, "Live! From Texas Death Row."
The program will also feature the monologue of a gay man at his father's deathbed, the fanciful autobiography of a fetus, an astonishing love story, and writings about the incarcerated mentally ill and the hazards of release.

The event was produced by PEN Prison Writing Committee Chair Bell Chevigny in collaboration with PEN member and WBAI Arts Director Janet Coleman
