LOS ANGELES COUNTY JAIL SONNETS 11 & 12

This is one is based on a little segment I did with KCRW's Sonic Trace called "Use Big Words." You can listen to the segment, here.

In this one I am speaking directly with the ghost of Frederick Douglass, and directly to my students inside the L.A. County Jail.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY JAIL SONNET #8

No. 8 in a series. Heavily told me that a series is called a corona, and I have yet to confirm that but Heavily knows his shit so it's more than highly probable. I have No. 9 and No. 10 in the register of my typewriter. in this corona, the speaker is teaching "Life of Frederick Douglass," to English classes of women inmates at CRDF and male inmates at TTCF in the Los Angeles County Jail.
