Richard Shelton -- whose excellent Crossing the Yard I praised in a blog post a couple weeks ago -- is featured tonight on The Jim Lehrer NewsHour along with his prison workshop. A pretty good first look at what this work is; some excellent poetry and interviews with the prison poets; and Richard speaks so wisely, beautifully and from the heart.

You can watch the segment on the NewsHour site.  And check out Walking Rain Review, the magazine visible in the NewsHour segment, published by Shelton and Ken Lamberton.
