Brad Bathgate - Poet from Harlem speaks reality through wit and observation. Definitely entertaining the way he forces you to see his stories through his eyes.
Aka 'Blue', Brad Bathgate is the author of "Corner Stores in the Middle of the Block," a collection of original poetry and short stories. In the spring of 2002, he was published in "Signifying Harlem," an anthology of poetry. He has performed at the Nuyorican Poet's Café, The Bowery Poetry Club, The Poets House and The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church in association with Cave Canem Poets. Blue performs at art galleries, museums, lounges, comedy clubs, colleges, universities and poetry venues in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Philadelphia and Baltimore, at times, walking away as open mic winner from the Nuyorican Poetry Café and Jimmy's Uptown Hottest Poets to name a few.

In December 2005, he was featured in "The New York Daily News Paper" and they were quoted saying "His career is on the write track."
