David Bradford
In this interview with Griffin Trustee Ian Williams, 2022 Griffin Poetry Prize Canadian Finalist David Bradford discusses how writing Dreams of No One but Myself was a way to come to terms with family trauma, finding clarity in gestures of erasure, and meandering through other people’s historical dream spaces. The interview includes a reading of a poem from Bradford’s shortlisted collection, Dreams of No One but Myself (Brick Books).
