Marilyn Nelson on The Brown Bookshelf
![]()
I discovered Marilyn Nelson’s powerful stories and amazing poetry -

Carver: A Life in Poems , A Wreath for Emmett Till, and Fortune’s Bones
- several years ago.
I’m so pleased to see Nelson’s work spotlighted on The Brown Bookshelf‘s: 28 Days Later, 2009 campaign (including her latest, The Freedom Business, which I have yet to read) and to discover that she has numerous books forthcoming!
