Stay Human: Mindfulness Poems

By Mahogany L Browne

A collection of mindfulness poems that celebrate everyday moments, from "one of the wisest and most courageous writers of this generation" (Robert Jones Jr.)

We live in an increasingly busy, destabilizing age, confronted by unceasing horrors. But as acclaimed, award-winning poet and playwright Mahogany L. Browne reminds us, poetry can center us and serve as a balm. Poetry invites us to see and feel, to celebrate the power of lyric and movement.

Browne encourages us to read the poems in Stay Human as a daily ritual: poems to read before a meeting or after a loss, a poem to prepare for a moment without screens or a kitchen at dusk, and poems for jubilation. Stay Human celebration of Black America with homage to the women who have blazed the way: Angela Davis, Nikki Giovanni, Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
