SOUNDNOFF: POETICAL SHOWCASES PRESENTS: CHRISTOPHER K.P. BROWN

n August of 2000, Christopher K.P. Brown self-published his own collection of poems, Content, and sold over 200 copies at $20 a piece. He was only 16 years old. Since then he’s written two more books of ...poetry and recorded four spoken word albums, POETRY: a hip hop album being the latest. He’s currently working to establish his company, 2 Pens & Lint, as a well known and respected company that concentrates on building poetry as an industry in which poets are able to become financially stable through their art. When he created 2 Pens & Lint simply as a website back in 2003 Christopher was only 18 years old. Since then he’s studied the poetry industry; he’s had successes and failures in poetry; but most importantly he feels that he’s still young enough to live up to the 2 Pens & Lint motto of moving towards “A New Direction In Poetry”. http://www.youtube.com/twopensandlint
