Linda Beatrice Brown is the author of three novels and numerous poems, plays, short stories, and essays. Her latest novel, Black Angels, a novel for young people, is set during the Civil War.

A retired professor of African American Literature, Linda graduated from Bennett College in 1961 where she took part in the historic Greensboro sit-ins. Her 2013 book Belles of Liberty grew out of her life-long decision to speak out for justice and equality and to teach about the participation of Bennett women.

Linda’s latest book is a collection of poems entitled A Mother Knows Her Child, focused on the Mother of Jesus. A second collection, Something of His Mother to Remember, was published in 2016. Linda’s latest book, published in 2021, is a collection of poems that were written during the first year of the Covid pandemic, entitled The House of Gratitude.
