On Tuesday, July 25th, Brockton Poetry Series welcomes Jevon Bernard:
Despite having no initial interest in poetry, Jevon Bernard started writing and took up the stage name Bottom of the Magical Hat in 2015 after some personal setbacks. He now uses poetry and art as outlets for emotions and thoughts that run through his hormonal, sporadic fireworks buffet of a mind, including but not limited to: the meaning of existence on a micro and cosmic scale, relationships, depression, daddy issues, and just about anything else a restless young person needs to describe in words.

He has been published widely, most notably, in The Worcester Review, Off the Coast, Short Fuse- An Anthology of New Fusion Poets, and Aim for the Head – An Anthology of Zombie Poetry.
