Poetry. Taylor Brady's OCCUPATIONAL TREATMENT continues the multi-volume cross-genre narrative work begun in Brady's MICROCLIMATES. Hopping from fragmented shards of poetry to cerebral prose to an odd and funny one-act play, OCCUPATIONAL TREATMENT sardonically explores the follies and momentary pleasures of existing in a jarring landscape saturated by media, detritus (real and imaginary), and other humans, a place where we occupiers find ourselves continually re-occupied by malevolent...well...unknowns.
About the author: Taylor Brady lives in San Francisco. He is the author of several books of poetry and prose, most recently OCCUPATIONAL TREATMENT (Atelos, 2006), and YESTERDAY'S NEWS (Factory School, 2005).
