The interview traces Knight's life from his childhood in Paducah, Kentucky, to his time in the Army and his injury in Korea, to his drug addiction and incarceration, and finally, to his poetic rebirth. The dialogue includes a 1984 exchange with McKim's daughter, Jenifer McKim, offering a rare intergenerational glimpse into Knight's world. McKim captures the man behind the legend--complex, contradictory, soulful. From prison yards to the Library of Congress, Knight lived and performed poetry across the country. This conversation revives his stories and energies, blending trickster wit with hard-won wisdom, making the mythic poet vividly human once more.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Gordon McKim\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several collections of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eThe Red Thread\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLovers in the Freefall\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 124\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8.49 x 5.56 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47893458419965,"sku":"9780822967927","price":32.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/WgM82ZBYqQ9780822967927.webp?v=1785024676","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/freedom-and-confinement-an-interview-with-etheridge-knight-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
