Adam Bradley’s poetry-related work spans criticism and original verse. Book of Rhymes (2008) was his first major work, analyzing hip-hop as poetry and breaking down the formal techniques — meter, rhyme, alliteration, narrative structure — that rappers use. The Poetry of Pop (2017) broadened the lens to popular music as a whole.

Seeking Love & Death (2020) is Bradley’s own poetry collection, a departure from criticism into creative work. Together, the three books show an author who has moved from analyzing other people’s poetry to writing his own.
