Poet Talk with Zaneta Varnado Johns

Andrea Carter Brown website and book September 12 Garden of Neuro A women's meta network collective of wisdom keepers and seekers. Women Led. #SafeandBraveSpace Andrea Carter Brown is a former resident of downtown Manhattan. On the morning of the attacks, she fled her apartment a block away from the World Trade Center amidst the destruction, not knowing if or when she would ever return. In September 12, published by Word Works Books, Brown shares her eyewitness account of the day that changed history and its tragic aftermath. In the words of New York’s poet laureate Alicia Ostriker, September 12 witnesses “how the experience lives on and on, through shock and terror, through the kindness of strangers, through the heart of a beloved, through grief and elegy, through normality that will never again be normal." Poems from the book have been recognized by the James Dickey Prize, the River Styx International Poetry Prize, the National Poet Hunt from The MacGuffin, Split This Rock, NPR, and the Library of Congress Online Guide to the Poetry of 9/11. — Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lisa-tomey/message
