Last night was awesome! Alyssa Renfro, Josh Slaughter, Maria Calhoun, Justin Dawson, and I drove to Hesston College to see the Bradley Hathaway. Hatawho? You might be asking. Bradley Hathaway is an amazingly talented Christian slam-poet. Putting Christian and Slam poet together does seem oxymoronic, but Bradley pulls it off no big deal. A lot of his poems start off sounding mean, rude, or crude, but they have a resolution at the end, whether you find out how the character really feels or it is tied back into a question of spiritual identity. I had heard about Bradley Hathaway before and was full of joy at the opportunity to see him live.
Some of my favorite poems are:
The annoying hardcore dude that takes it too far
The hug poem
Silence
Manly Man
The best part of the evening, next to seeing/hearing him live:
Ta Da!
Yah, that's me next to Bradley Hathaway.
