Reception
The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "Poems for Piano is a superb recording, offering abundant evidence of both Marion Brown's deep and sensitive compositional gifts and Amina Claudine Myers' all-too-unrecognized strengths as a player and interpreter. Highly recommended".[1]
