About the author
C.L. Brown
4 books3 followersC. L. Brown is a Writer & Poet who draws inspiration from nature, spirituality, and the purest of sentiments, love. Born in Mandeville, Jamaica in 1978, he was raised with strong spiritual values under the guardianship of his grandmother, and later his parents as he migrated to the United States to live with them at 12 years of age. This he clearly conveys in his art through copious spiritual references, whether writing about romance, or diving within his own soul, seemingly in search of God.
C. L Brown’s passion for writing commenced in mid 2007 when he, unintentionally, started writing poems on Social Media websites. His followers were immediately drawn to his work, and over the next 6 years, pleaded with him to publish his art.
In 2015, he published his debut book, a collection of poems, entitled “Loud Whispers of Silent Souls.” With this publication, he embarked upon a journey that would garner attention around the world, inspiring as many as would listen to, and/or read his poetry. In December 2016, he published his second collection of poems in the book entitled “Bare.” As the title suggests, he laid his soul bare in this beautiful work of art. C. L. Brown’s poetry is an amalgam of sensuality, spirituality, and romanticism that has earned him the title, “The Romance Poet” among his readers.
In his own words, his life’s mission is “to leave this world better than I found it,” and he’s doing so, one word, one poem, at a time.

C.L.Brown doesn’t just use poetry to tell a story but tells a journey through the power of inspirational and infectious collections of truth.
“Perhaps it was just playful nature of the wind, not malicious intent, that gifted the budding rose to the scorching earth.”
Brown’s ambition to write is screamed through the pages of this book and really brings forth the bare feelings that people conceal. His poetry is soothing and doesn’t abide by the ‘normal’ poetry that has to rhythm or be short. This man is a genuine writer whose words just flow and end perfectly.
One of my favourite excerpts from the book BARE was the first words from the poem,
Days Like This;
I used to think of you on days like this.
Days when the rain sings like acoustic instruments,
clutched in the hands of heartbroken musicians
weeping the candlelit cafes.
This book is very emotionally-empowering and makes the reader feel as if they are connecting with each poem with every page turned. I found myself engulfed in this book while reading as every poem was captivating and came across as purposefully and not just written for content. Every story is written with passion and comes across as a beautiful creation. Brown’s writing style is unique and diverse and has built his brand to reminiscence with every kind of situation and person.
