Remembering Toni Brown

It's always a sad occasion when you hear the news of a fellow writer and/or poet passing away. I received this email from Dr. Niama Williams:
Poets, Writers, Colleagues in Philadelphia, Boston, New York, and beyond: Please join me this coming Monday, April 28th, 2008, from 6-7 p.m. EST on BlogTalkRadio.com to honor the passing of Toni Brown, a personal friend and stunning poet. I will spend the time between now and Monday searching for Toni's work on the web, and I would love it if you would call in and share with my listeners your Toni poems and your Toni memories. If you plan to call in, please email me BEFORE 4 P.M. ON MONDAY WITH YOUR NAME AND THE NUMBER YOU WILL BE CALLING FROM. Otherwise, I will not know that it is you on the line (BlogTalk's switchboard only gives the number). I look forward to your participation as we honor a truly talented voice now speaking only within our consciousnesses and memories. Sincerely, Dr. Ni

If you knew Ms. Brown or just want to offer your condolences, please call the program and I'm sure Dr. Niama will certainly appreciate it.

Here are a few places where you can see Ms. Brown's literary legacy:
