The Blue Split Compartments
The Blue Split Compartments is a complex and powerful sequence of lyric poems exploring how the physically intimate relationships between military drone operators and their victims are mediated, not only through the technological interfaces of the screen and drone, but also through language and subjectivity. Drawing on chatroom logs, military policy manuals, pattern of life archives, and accounts by witnesses around the world, these poems document the consequences of the perpetual and 'everywhere war' conducted from remote airbases, where pilots in shipping containers surveil and destroy remote 'objects'. Brady's approach offers a sophisticated interplay of diction, rhetoric, syntax, positio...
Cut from the Rushes

She is the director of the Archive of the Now and co-publisher of Barque Press.

Poetry and Bondage
Offering a new theory of poetic constraint, this book analyses contributions of bound people to the history of the lyric.
Vacation of a Lifetime
This volume gathers poems from Brady_s sequence, Liberties, with many singular works published in journals or previously uncollected. It presents the first opportunity to survey the territory of her concerted effort to write out the substance, body and system, which conducts and resists the transmission of recent US power surges.
English Funerary Elegy in the Seventeenth Century
This book analyzes the political, aesthetic, moral and religious developments in the period 1606-1660 and discusses the works of Donne, Jonson, Milton and early modern women's writing. Brady combines Literary Theory, social and cultural History, Psychology and Anthropology to produce exciting and original readings of neglected source material.
Mutability
A chronicle of motherhood and infancy, Brady's Mutability marks the excesses of attention and love in this unique relationship, the gradual unfurling of one person into two. In poems and prose, these scripts offer a "model of duplicity," revealing how the beginnings of language, the spaces which open up through movement, the undeniable possibility of harm, and the unbearable intimacy between mother and child challenge the premise of individual autonomy. Seeking "a writing of honest particularity, not clean, in a form which would catch rather than cauterize this pouring," Mutability brilliantly captures the experience of motherhood. At the same time, Brady explores the child-space, a utopian place of discovery and adaptation, as an arena of risk, violence, possession, and privation. Carefully observing the consequences of "the beginning of all possibility, and the beginning of its finitude," the book notes the child's discovery of being a new person to "the discovery of an exit." Brady's unique and moving book celebrates and investigates life's most essential relationship.

Radical Tenderness
Radical Tenderness argues for the importance of poetry in negotiating political and social catastrophes, through a focus on the unusual intimacies of committed writing. How do poets negotiate between the personal and the public, the bedroom and the street, the family and class or communal ties? How does contemporary lyric, with its emphasis on the feelings and perceptions of the individual subject, speak to moments of shared crisis? What can poetry tell us about how care shapes our experiences of history? How do the intimacies found in protest, on strike, in riots, and in spaces of oppression, transform individual lives and political movements? Through a series of focussed readings of four twenty-first century poets - Caleb Femi, Bhanu Kapil, Juliana Spahr and Anne Boyer - Radical Tenderness reflects the perspectives provided by intimate poetries on the shared political emergencies of poverty, war, ecological catastrophe, racism, and illness.

The Strong Room
The Strong Room collects poems found, co-produced and overheard, as charms against damage. In times of accelerated peril the poem's fragile stanzas can be a holding space, whose strength is too weak to contain the world, and too strong to resist it. These poems seek to build this paradoxical space of safety, pleasure, anger and danger as an expanding room for everyone who lives in love or fear.
