Also, as part of the 16th Annual Ethridge Knight Festival of the Arts, Poet Martin Espada will be conducting a free poetry writing workshop for High School students (10:00am), on Thursday, April 26, at the Glendale Library Branch. He will also be reading to Indianapolis area Middle and High School students on Friday, April 27 (10:00am) at the Crispus Attucks Medical Magnet School’s auditorium.
