“We’re so honored to have had the opportunity to share his gift with our CSM and Southern Maryland community last fall,” said Neal Dwyer, Languages and Literature professor at CSM. “We can add [Brown] to the list of incredible authors we’ve brought to our region through the Connections series.” Click on the video below to hear Brown’s fall 2019 Connections reading.
