poems
“Poetry for me was and is always anchored in truth telling, healing, and ministry. I am driven to explore how cultures and ideas collide. How these stunning and sometimes gruesome meeting grounds inspire humans to co-create new futures for themselves.” In my creative quest, Brad shares, “I feel a renewed determination never to conceal where it feels good nor where it hurts. My pen is free to travel unconditionally in service to the freedom of others.”

“ Every Where Alien is a book that asks for interaction and understanding. These poems take seriously the fact of a living, breathing, and loving reader: “Put them in your music/Add them to the score.” Brad Walrond defies aesthetic boundaries to write the poems that only he could write, poems that travel time and space for a truth that is sometimes painful and always necessary.”
