Brad Walrond is an American poet, author, conceptual/performance artist, and one of the foremost writers and performers of the 1990s Black Arts Movement centered in New York City. Brad’s poetics, performance, and multi-disciplinary work interpolates between virtual reality, identity formation, and human consciousness at the intersection of race, gender, sex, and desire. Brad aims with his work to provoke futurist explorations of how we co-create historical, remembered, and imagined time encouraging us to rediscover the common and conflicting threads of our human inheritance. Walrond holds a B.A. from The City College of New York and an M.A. from Columbia University.

His debut collection Every Where Alien will be published on Moore Black Press/Amistad HarperCollins (August 2024)
