Usually not a fan of full improvisations with a larger group, but the stellar lineup in this one does away with any anxieties surrounding that fact. It does get into some nice regions, particularly the Evan Parker-led sections on the B-side. Discovery of Greg Goodman in recent years has been a nice addition to the 70s world of Bay Area improv.

PEN Prison Writing: Greg Goodman's "Seven Thousand Yesterdays"

"And then there was your old cellie, Luther, a tall white guy from West Virginia. He had a weirdly wandering glass eye. Whenever you and Luther talked and he saw you looking confused, he’d point to the left side of his smiling face and say, 'Look in this eye Greg, this, the good one, right here.'

One Saturday at lunch in the dining hall you mentioned that Luther was expecting a visit from his wife. 'Luther killed his wife,' said Sweeny, without looking up from slurping his soup."

Greg Goodman was awarded Second Place in Essay in the 2012 PEN Prison Writing Program. Read the entire story here.
