Description
Correspondence, poetry, artwork, and other written documents sent by artists from San
Quentin State Prison to Stanford artists, as well as the culmination of these writings into
a zine published by the Stanford Renaissance Project in May 2018 called 'Incarceratedly
Yours, Issue I'. Collection includes website and zine.
Background
Prison Renaissance at Stanford is supported by a Research Award grant from the Program in
Writing and Rhetoric and by the Hume Center for Writing and Speaking. Founded in Fall 2017,
the group brings together an interdisciplinary group of approximately 30 Stanford
undergraduates, graduate students, staff, and faculty who collaborate with people who are
currently incarcerated.
