On Thursday, May 6th at 7:00 pm City Lights will be hosting a very special event celebrating the release of Prison/Culture, the latest City Lights Foundation publication. Join Steve Dickison, Jack Hirschman, Ericka Huggins, and Rigo 23 in a book release party and reading.

Prison/Culture investigates the culture of incarceration as an integral part of the American experience through a compilation of stunning and often heartrending art by inmates, as well as artists on the outside, such as Sandow Birk and Keith Antar Mason, who address incarceration, criminal profiling, wrongful conviction, prison labor, and the death penalty. The book also includes essays on prisons and prison art by Angela Davis and Mike Davis, and poetry by Amiri Baraka, Ericka Huggins, Luis Rodriguez, Sesshu Foster, and more.
