The Time at Darwin's Reef Poetic Explorations

The Time at Darwin's Reef is primarily a book of storytelling through mixed genres--verse, prose, and painting. Brady's work is designed to draw out key dimensions of the poetics of anthropology and history embedded in creative writing--in the mix and on the margins of verse and prose, painting and writing, fiction and fact--to revisit the sometimes academically resistant idea that there is more than one way to say (and therefore to see) things.

Ivan Brady is Distinguished Teaching Professor and Chair of Anthropology at the State University of New York at Oswego.
