Autorenporträt
Trevino L. Brings Plenty is a poet, musician, and multi-media videoartist who lives, works, and writes in Portland, Oregon. He has read/performed his work at poetry festivals as far away as Amman, Jordan, and close to his home base at Portland's Wordstock Festival. In 2015, Trevino was The C. Hamilton Bailey Fellowship recipient. In college, Trevino worked with Primus St. John and Henry Carlile for poetry work, studied with Tomas Svoboda for music composition, and Jerry Hahn for Jazz guitar. Trevino is an American and Native American; a Lakota Indian born on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, South Dakota, USA. Some of his work explores the American Indian identity in American culture, and how it has, through genealogical history, affected indigenous peoples in the 21st century. He writes of urban Indian life; it's his subject.Other titles by Brings Plenty include REAL INDIAN JUNK JEWELRY (The Backwaters Press, 2012) and Shedding Skins: Four Sioux Poets (Michigan State University Press, 2008), Adrian C.
