July 2019: I will be at Readercon (July 11-15) in Quincy, MA. I’m moderating three panels: Latinx Authors Tear Down the Wall (Friday 2pm); Writing While Chronically Ill or Disabled (Saturday 1pm); and What Does Authenticity Look Like? (Sunday 1pm). And I’ll be doing a reading from EXILE on Sunday 2:30pm!
My short story “Revival” is now available to read for free at Beneath Ceaseless Skies. A headstrong atheist is drawn to a traveling tent revival by rumors of miraculous healing, only to find herself in the role of savior.
Later this year, I’ll be speaking at Sirens (October 24-27 in Denver, CO) on the topic of “Trends in Speculative Poetry by Disabled Poets.”

Look for me on the panels “The Perception of Everything: Writing the Senses of Disparate Bodies”; “Borders and the United Earth”; and “Food Shaming.” I’ll also be at the Sign Out to sign books. Hopefully, there will be printed ARCs of EXILE at WisCon, if not the final version!

March 23, 2015: Nebula-nominated author, editor of Goblin Fruit, and NPR reviewer Amal El-Mohtar reviewed The Haunted Girl for Lightspeed magazine:
“There is a theme, throughout the collection, of false prisons and false escapes, reflections on who and where one is and where one’s going. … at the collection’s core: resistance to norms, to imposition, be they of language, sexuality, or mortality. There is a sharpness, a sting to most of these poems, of the kind that makes you hiss and then seek it out again. I loved the collection’s bilingualism, both in the presence of Spanish and the musings on being between languages, on the thermodynamics of translation…”
December 5, 2014: Author and translator David Bowles reviewed The Haunted Girl for my hometown newspaper, The Monitor: “Bradley possesses a real gift for language and unflinching insight into the best and worst of human nature.” At Stone Telling, editor and author Alex Dally MacFarlane has also reviewed the collection.
