E. Donald Two-Rivers, an Ojibwa Indian who left Canada at 16 and settled in Chicago's then rough-and-tumble Uptown neighborhood, took up writing while behind bars for robbery.


He went on to win a national award for short stories, start a Native American theater group, write plays, a newspaper column and poems that he read in dramatic fashion at poetry slams in Chicago and across the country.
