Harold Clurman Poetry Reading Series presents: Mahogany L. Browne

Step into an evening of profound lyrical power as the Harold Clurman Poetry Reading Series proudly hosts the incomparable Mahogany L. Browne. Held within the esteemed and historic setting of the Stella Adler Center for the Arts, this event promises a sophisticated yet deeply intimate exploration of the human experience through the lens of one of contemporary literature’s most vital voices.

The vibe is one of soulful reflection and urgent beauty. It is an invitation to experience the transformative power of the spoken word in a space that honors the intersection of art and social justice. Attendees can expect an atmosphere that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant, as the room fills with the rhythmic, truth-telling grace that has become Browne’s hallmark.

The spotlight remains firmly on the artistry of Mahogany L. Browne—a Kennedy Center Next 50 Fellow, NY Emmy nominee, and winner of the 2024 Paterson Poetry Prize. As Lincoln Center’s inaugural poet-in-residence, Browne brings a magnetic presence and a masterful command of language to the stage. Whether she is sharing selections from her award-winning collection Chrome Valley or her newest novel A Bird in the Air Means We Can Still Breathe, her performance is a testament to the resilience of the spirit. Join us for a celebratory evening that reaffirms poetry as a vital force for connection and change.
