This week I’m taking you behind the poetry with my poem “First Lines.” Listen in to hear the inspiration behind this poem, why I used to sleep with books and my journal next to me, and how this poem ended up on my last spoken word album Amena Brown Live.
Listen on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you enjoy podcasts.
