For writers and poets, Knight is claimed as an Indianapolis author of five collections of poetry that remain influential through generations. His subjects â Black art and experience in America, the importance of family, the rewards of artistic expression â are as relevant today as they were when he was writing. He was a champion of poetry and its transformative power. Heâs the author who famously declared, âI died in Korea from a shrapnel wound, and narcotics resurrected me. I died in 1960 from a prison sentence and poetry brought me back to life.â He died in Indianapolis in 1991 and is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery.Â
