Andrea Brady was born in Philadelphia, USA in 1974. She studied at Columbia University and then at the University of Cambridge, where she earned a PhD for a thesis on funerary elegy. She now teaches English literature at Brunel University, and has written on Civil War history, funerary ritual, the 17th-century poet Katherine Philips, and the American poet John Wieners. With Keston Sutherland she runs Barque Press, whose titles include 100 Days, an anthology of dissent against the Bush administration. Vacation of a Lifetime was published by Salt in 2001. It collects the chapbook Liberties with a long sequence, 'Seasonals', and other unpublished poems. A chapbook, Cold Calling, was published by Barque in 2004, and Embrace was published by Object Permanence in 2005. Andrea gava a reading in 2005 at the Kootenay School of Writing in Vancouver and at the Centre Internationale de Poesie Marseille in May 2006, at a special event honouring Barque Press which she co-curated with Eric Giraud. She is currently working on a long verse essay and website project about Greek Fire, White Phosphorous, obscurity and illumination, on the Dispatx art collective website. Andrea is the Director of the "Archive of the Now" an online repository of over 60 poets reading their work.
