Life
Morrow, a native of Baltimore, Maryland, grew up in Littleton, Colorado, and, "after a decade of vagabonding from Honduras to France, Italy, and England," he settled in New York City, where he remains. He was chosen by the Colorado Medical Association in 1966 to work with a select group of other teenage volunteers as a medical assistant with the Amigos de las Americas program, giving inoculations and working with health-care workers in impoverished, rural areas of Honduras. Morrow spent his remaining year of high school at a Liceo Scientifico in Cuneo, Italy, from 1967-1968. After finishing his B.A. degree, he moved to the United States. He received a Danforth Fellowship at the University of Colorado, Boulder, 1969-1992, where he graduated summa cum lauded with a Phi Beta Kappa. Morrow began researching on a full-scale bibliography of Wyndham Lewis, consulting the archives at Cornell University, and then to Santa Barbara, California, where he encountered John Martin, who would publish the bibliography in 1978.
In late 1980, Conjunctions, a literary biannual journal, was introduced in Santa Barbara, California, as "Morrow sat in Beat poet Kenneth Rexroth's library. The two friends had the idea to compile a Festschrift for James Laughlin, the beloved editor of New Directions. The journal was picked up by Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, which remains the journal's publisher, after being published by David R. Godine (1985-1977) and Collier Books/Scribner (1988-1989).
Morrow founded Rexroth's literary executor in 1982, edited and published a number of the poet's books, including The Selected Poems of Kenneth Rexroth (1984), The Complete Poems of Kenneth Rexroth (1990), and with Sam Hamill coedited The Complete Poems of Kenneth Rexroth (1982), Rexroth's Rexroth (1989), Rexroth (1986).
He has worked at Princeton, Brown, and Columbia Universities as well as the Naropa Institute. He has been a Bard College professor of literature and a Bard Center Fellow since 1990.
In 2000, the Review of Contemporary Fiction published "Bradford Morrow," which included essays by Sven Birkerts, Forrest Gander, Patrick McGrath, Robert Creeley, Joanna Scott, Brian Evenson, William T. Vollmann, Maurice Smith, and others.
