Today on KCRW's Bookworm: Carol Muske-Dukes, author of Channeling Mark Twain (Random House, $24.95, 9780375509278/0375509275). As the show put it: "This novel revives the belief that poetry has a close connection to personal and political liberation. Muske-Dukes' narrator teaches a poetry workshop in a women's prison. Our conversation both celebrates and grieves for the once widely held conviction that Art can change life."
