Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Brad Buchanan's writings have appeared in more than 200 journals, and he has published three previous book-length collections of poetry: The Miracle Shirker (Poet's Corner Press, 2005), Swimming the Mirror: Poems for My Daughter (Roan Press, 2008), and The Scars, Aligned: A Cancer Narrative (Finishing Line Press, 2019). Now Emeritus Professor of English at Sacramento State University, he has also published two academic books and numerous scholarly articles. His most recent book is a medical memoir entitled Living with Graft-Versus Host Disease: How I Stopped Fighting Cancer and Started Healing (Armin Lear Publishing, 2021). He was diagnosed with a rare form of T-cell lymphoma in February 2015, and after chemotherapy and radiation, he underwent a stem cell transplant in early 2016. The transplant, though successful, brought on temporary vision loss and disability, a compromised immune system, and an ongoing illness: acute, then chronic, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Late in 2016, he underwent an experimental treatment through a clinical trial for malignant B-cell lymphoma (caused by the Epstein-Barr virus); he is currently in remission.
