Just Released My Book, "Missing Pages" B

Elijah M. Brown, 22 years old, born in Newark New Jersey. Now residing in Bloomfield, New Jersey. He was introduced to poetry in the 7th grade by his teacher Ms. Burwell at Vailsburg Middle School. After Ms. Burwell selected four students to join her on a trip to Newark Public Library, Elijah did not come out as the same person he entered. Writing and expressing everything he felt because he was more so to tell paper how he felt than people around him. Venting was the first reason he got back into writing in high school.After losing his second poetry book, he picked up a basketball his junior year in high school and put his pen down. But unfortunately after being cut his senior year during tryouts, his emotions forced the ball to be put away and not too long after returned the pen. It was life changing for him because with expressing himself, he made differences within his classes and a year later he was introduced to Spoken Word, the performance part of poetry at the great Serengeti Plains.TO BE CONTINUED…Accomplishments:• Has 3 Poetry Cds’ Produced within 2 years Life is A Nightmare (Copywritten 2005) I Cry When I Write (Copywritten 2006) Poetry Chose Me (Newly Released)• Produced the 1st Poetry Summer Jam featuring 9 great Poets • Has been Producing Poetry Events for 2 years “Let It Flow Poetry Series” • Was a Guest Curator for NJPAC, “Planet Hip Hop III” • Has been performing for 5 years • Has featured at more than 20 venues in and out of New Jersey, Philly, New York, Maryland, DC, and more… • Has a Clothing Line, Just Write, is about to hit hard with messages that are only reflections of what we see that are hidden.PERFORMANCES• Church of God, Vauxhall, NJ • Holy Dove Christian Fellowship, Newark, NJ • Holy Tabernacle Church, Vauxhall, NJ • New Hope Baptist Church, Newark, NJ • Berkeley Elementary School, Bloomfield, NJ • Belmont Middle School, Newark, NJ • University Middle School, Irvington, NJ • Arts High School, Newark, NJ • Montclair High School, Montclair, NJ • Science High School, Newark, NJ • University High School, Newark, NJ • Weequahic High School, Newark, NJ • West Side High School, Newark, NJ • Bloomfield College, Bloomfield, NJ • Essex County College, Newark, NJ • Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck, NJ • Kean University, Union, NJ • New Jersey City University, Jersey City, NJ • Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ • Rutgers University, Newark, NJ • Seton Hall University, South Orange, NJ • Montclair State University, Montclair, NJ • William Paterson College, Wayne, NJ • East Orange Library, East Orange, NJ • Bloomfield Library, Bloomfield, NJ • Mango Café, Montclair, NJ • Marlos, Irvington, NJ • Ninja University, Irvington, NJ • Nuyorican Café, Manhattan, NY • Serrengeti Plains, Montclair, NJ • The Dancing Goat, South Orange, NJ • The Upper Room, Newark, NJOnline Status Icons
