#140: Captured Words/Free Thoughts, 20th Anniversary

Captured Words/Free Thoughts is an annual, non-profit publication packed with art, poetry and prose inspired and written inside US prisons. Every year a group of volunteers records some of the submissions in audio form to share with the world. An online version of the full magazine (and all previous volumes) is here. If you or someone you know (in prison or out) would like a paper copy, contact me and I'll make sure to send one out (for free). You can reach us by mail at CW/FT, 1201 Larimer St, Suite 3014, Denver, CO, 80204. If you would like to record your loved one's Captured Words/Free Thoughts poems for next edition, contact me via at [email protected] for more info. This episode includes the following:Intro: Ben Boyce"My Freedom Kite," by Monica Petrosian "What's in a Name?" by Gary K.
