John Brand is Professor Emeritus of English at Quinsigamond Community College, where he enjoyed a career spanning over two decades. Originally from Sheffield, Yorkshire, in Northern England, John began writing poetry regularly in the mid 1980’s in a creative writing class. He then took the opportunity to enroll at University of Sheffield for a degree in English Literature and Linguistics with a minor of English Language & Linguistics and came to the U.S. to read for his  Masters degree at Clark University.

As a Professor at QCC, John enjoyed making poetry, literature and theatre accessible to students, fostering a lifelong enthusiasm for the literary arts. John’s book, Things I Might Have Said, is a collection of amusing and entertaining poems. You’ll hear from John about his inspirations and what excites him to write in rhyme and iambic pentameter.
