About the author

Bradford Morrow has lived for the past thirty years in New York City and rural upstate New York, though he grew up in Colorado and lived and worked in a variety of places in between. While in his mid-teens, he traveled through rural Honduras as a member of the Amigos de las Americas program, serving as a medical volunteer in the summer of 1967. The following year he was awarded an American Field Service scholarship to finish his last year of high school as a foreign exchange student at a Liceo Scientifico in Cuneo, Italy. In 1973, he took time off from studying at the University of Colorado to live in Paris for a year. After doing graduate work on a Danforth Fellowship at Yale University, he moved to Santa Barbara, California, to work as a rare book dealer. In 1981 he relocated to New York City to the literary journal Conjunctions, which he founded with the poet Kenneth Rexroth, and to write novels. He and his two cats divide their time between NYC and upstate New York.

Reviews

[Mark · Rating 3 out of 5]

another trip down recent literary history with this issue of conjunctions from the mid-80s. some fine poetry and interesting essays but distinctly lacking in fiction, with only a couple of stories that stuck with me. the readings section, which is no longer part of each issue, was also quite interesting, with reviews of several books that sit on my shelves these years later. robert kelley on coover's gerald's party was particularly interesting.
