TIMES OF EXPRESSION & POETRY

We all go through life having experienced different challenges and situations. Whether we are rich or poor we have seen some things that are great in life and we have also seen some things that are horrible in life. The experiences and challenges that we have personally overcome as individuals somehow shape us. The writer uses life experiences and poetry to illustrate the feeling of captured time. Time captured in memory never leaves us to faded pictures or broken glass like a picture in a frame. But time captured in memory gives us feelings, emotions that fill us with joy, anger, sorrow and sometimes bitterness. Mark T. Browning writes his version of captured time in the form of a nine chapter colloquy that travels over four decades of life with friends, family members, music, celebrity personalities, poetry, fashion and the moments that seem to make time stand still. You will enjoy the descriptions of life experiences of a young boy growing up in the Ft. Greene Projects located in Brooklyn, New York only to leave the projects to experience another side of life as a man. A life filled with experiences that lead to controversial statements ranging from, war, PTSD, racism, raising a family, drugs and gun policy.
