Poet Stacey Lynn Brown To Read From Her Work Jan. 29 At SIUE
(EDWARDSVILLE, Ill.)

The reading is free and open to the public and copies of Ms. Brown’s new poetry collection will be available for purchase.

A native of Atlanta, Brown studied at Emory University, Oxford University, and The University of Oregon, where she received an MFA in Poetry. A poet, playwright, and essayist, her work has appeared in various literary journals and anthologies. Poems from Cradle Song were recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
