The Open Road: a learning community

Afoot and lighthearted, I take to the open road...
Henceforth, I ask not good fortune,
I myself am good fortune.

I teach Theatre at the University of Michigan. I am the Former Director of the Prison Creative Arts Project (https://lsa.umich.edu/pcap), which is the largest Prison Arts organization in the world. I’m excited that my new book Prison Theatre and the Global Crisis of Incarceration has just been published by Methuen Drama. You can order it from any major bookseller, or send an email to Bill Clark at Literarity Book Shop in my hometown of El Paso, Texas (bclark@literarity.com).
