NEW YORK - During the fall semester, a new seminar was offered by Hamilton's English Department. "Booked: Prison Writing," taught by Associate Professor Doran Larson, offered a survey of literature composed behind bars. The authors ranged from Socrates to Oscar to post-colonial, developing world authors. The class also included a specialized field trip: the opportunity to observe inmates at maximum-security Attica Prison in a creative writing class. Two years ago Larson visited Attica prison with a discussion group. After this initial experience, he spent six weeks of his leave from 2007-2008 in the Library of Congress reading solely prison literature. At the conclusion of his leave, he returned to Hamilton. He also returned to Attica, to teach a creative writing workshop to 10 of the 2200 inmates currently incarcerated there.Read more.
