Poems by Mahogany L. Browne.
"What makes this collection remarkable are the poems navigate the quiet spaces that inhabit the schizophrenic scenery of Brooklyn. Throughout the struggles, the pains and the triumphs, the poet finds a place where 'the joy the mess/the body/is most forgiving.' This is the swaggerful collision of craft and charisma. Boom." - Michael Cirelli

It's great to see that many (although not all) of Mahogany Browne's poems work as well on the page as they do in performance. Her Brooklyn sequence is wonderful - IMO she's at her best when describing cityscapes and the people who hurry through them.
