Bryonn Bain is a friend from college, and I'm working on a review of his book, The Prophet Returns.
New Brooklyn Writers Join Old Hands at Fort Greene Park Lit Fest – WNYC Culture.
Bryonn Bain, who is from Flatbush and spent five years teaching cultural literacy to teen inmates at Rikers Island, will also be reading from his book, The Prophet Returns, which will be released this weekend by Blackout brooklyn Press.
"You can't underestimate the power of the word, the power of stories," Bain said, who will also be performing with the hip-hop theater group Lyrics from Lockdown at the festival. "And the young folks are getting an opportunity to do that at an age when I think it matters most."
