About Billy Brown
Billy Brown came to poetry late in life, after hating it for 35 years, having been humiliated in a HS English class. He began writing poetry of grief twenty-five years ago, shortly after the death of his daughter Elizabeth, in a car crash at age 18. In time his poetry turned towards happier themes such as love, celebration, nature, beauty and political activism. For 15 years Billy has organized and hosted Albuquerque’s monthly Fixed and Free poetry readings, producing four Fixed and Free Poetry Anthologies 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2021 and recently publishing the inaugural issue of Fixed and Free Poetry Quarterly. Billy has chosen to live a life of Joy … with poetry, singing, mathematics/statistics education, baking/catering, UNM faculty union leadership and family activities. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from Dartmouth College and has taught/tutored Mathematics at the HS and College levels for 35 years, interrupted by a 12-year stint working at Intel in various automation positions. His son Alex (40) and daughter-in-law Lake live in Los Angeles with their two daughters Nevada (6) and Dusty Rainbow (1); he has not yet seen or held Dusty Rainbow due to COVID. Billy lives in Albuquerque with his gardener sweetheart Sandi, their cat Annie and her son Aaron’s music recording studio. Billy still occasionally weeps for Elizabeth, and every new day is another opportunity to be Joyful!
