Two Brads of Poetry: a Davis Reading
The Other Voice in Davis, California will present two poets who teach at local universities: Brad Buchanan (CSUS) and Brad Henderson (UCD). The reading will be held on Friday, January 16 (7:30 PM) in the library of the UU Church, located at 27074 Patwin Road, Davis. Refreshments and Open mic will follow.
Brad Buchanan
Brad Buchanan teaches British and world literature as well as creative writing at Sacramento State. His first book of poetry, The Miracle Shirker, was published in 2005 by Poets Corner Press and his new book, Swimming the Mirror: Poems For My Daughter, appeared under Roan Press, an imprint he co-founded in 2008. He is a board member of the Sacramento Poetry Center, editor for The Tule Review, runs an annual high school poetry contest, and is a visiting poet and judge for the national Poetry Out Loud contest.
Brad Hernderson
Brad Henderson, also known as Beau Hamel, has deep roots in Davis. His great-great-grandfather, Henry Hartman Hamel, was one of the original settlers of Davisville. Both his father and paternal grandfather are emeritus professors from UCD's college of Engineering. Henderson/Hamel is the author of a dual chapbook of poetry, Split Rock, published by Natsoulas Press, 2006. As Beau Hamel, the originator of "neo-cowboy-ism", he has been called "a ten-gallon hat nod to Seamus Heaney". Henderson co-hosts (with Andy Jones) a reading series at Bistro 33.
