FALL OF FREEDOM

Working with our partners at Lakota Oyate-ki Culture Club at Oregon State Penitentiary, we have put together a special edition of the PonyXpress that features writing from Indigenous writers across Oregon to publish November 21-22, 2025. We are combing the archives from both the PonyXpress, our 2021 anthology Prisons Have A Long Memory, and newsletters produced at the prison to capture the resilience, the insight, and the beauty of our Indigenous writers. PonyXPress artist and editor, Tracy Schlapp will ink up some antique wooden type to create a series of broadsides to illustrate the issue. This art will be free to download and print at home. Read more about the movement on the New York Times and get involved.
