Nathan Brown
Topic: Creative Writing Workshop

from
Nathan's web site: Nathan Brown is a singer-songwriter,
photographer, and award-winning poet. His mission is to take
back poetry from the hard, academic grip of the ivory tower
and the brooding, beret-sporting-village-types who all too
often use poetry for personal therapy... both being good
reasons audiences for poetry have run for the hills in the
United States...Nathan holds an interdisciplinary Ph.D.
in Creative and Professional Writing from the University of
Oklahoma. He currently teaches for the Human Relations and
Liberal Studies departments at the University of Oklahoma...Nathan
has published six books of poetry. My Sideways Heart,
his most recent, is just out on Mongrel Empire Press. And
his last book, Two Tables Over, won the 2009
Oklahoma Book Award in Poetry. The other four are: Not
Exactly Job (a finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award); Ashes
over the Southwest; Suffer
the Little Voices (a finalist for the Oklahoma Book
Award); and Hobson's Choice. |
