Author of Separation Anxiety, Gavin Bradley, will receive a 2024 University of Alberta Alumni Horizon Award on October 24 at the Myer Horowitz Theatre on the U of A North Campus in Edmonton. Congratulations, Gavin!
“From teaching classes of future paleontologists to writing internationally acclaimed poetry, Gavin Bradley is carving out a rare reputation for excellence in science and arts. The one-time Irish exchange student in Philip Currie’s dinosaur lab is now a lecturer who has taken over Currie’s introductory paleontology courses while also co-ordinating the university’s massive open online courses (MOOCs). As a student, Bradley began exploring his creative side by writing for The Gateway and taking his first tentative steps as a published poet. In 2022, he released his first full-length poetry collection—Separation Anxiety, based on his emigration from Northern Ireland to Canada—which won the annual UNESCO Bridges of Struga International Poetry Award, recognizing him as an outstanding emerging poet.”
