Biography
Kristin P. Bradshaw conducts poetic investigations and observations through writing, letterpress, collage, photography, and sound recording. Her current critical inquiries converge around fragmentation, the tension between immediacy and accessibility in the experience of poetic and visual works, and the state of the word in contemporary visual culture. She is a graduate of Brown University’s Literary Arts MFA program (formerly called Creative Writing), and earned an MA in Religion from the Divinity School at Yale University. She is Associate Professor and BFA Creative Writing Department Head at Pacific Northwest College of Art at Willamette University, and teaches across BFA and MFA Creative Writing, Intermedia, and MFA Print Media programs. Burning Deck’s release of her first book, Apologies, in October 2014, followed the 2005 chapbook, “The Difficult Nature of Contemplation” (Percival House).
