2/5/2014 - After meeting at Cave Canem, the black writers' symposium, John Murillo, Dwayne Betts, Randall Horton, and Marcus Jackson discovered they all had a shared love of the late African-American poet Etheridge Knight. The four bonded, kept in touch, and formed their own poetry collective called "The Symphony." Each poet of the collective reads from his own work and discusses writing from the perspective of the African-American male experience.
