Adrian Horton writes: “When Reginald Dwayne Betts fell in love with poetry as a young man, his reading options were limited. Convicted at 16, in 1997, of carjacking with a pistol in Virginia, Betts was serving eight years in prison when an unknown person slipped a copy of Dudley Randall’s The Black Poets under his cell door. Betts, now 40, a Yale-trained lawyer and a recipient last month of the prestigious MacArthur “genius grant,” now endeavors to offer incarcerated people a similar experience with 1,000 microlibraries in prisons across the country through his nonprofit, Freedom Reads.”
