Mier Wolf, former mayor of Chevy Chase, MD, and a board member of The Writer’s Center (both are in Metro-D.C. area) has started a poetry in prison program at the Montgomery County jail, near Clarksburg, MD. An early presenter was friend and mentor E. Ethelbert Miller (see the video below).

Poet extraordinaire Joseph Ross will be joining this project in the next few weeks. As Ethelbert says, “In the Beloved Community, there are no bars.”
