Seth Tucker (S. Brady Tucker) is an American fiction writer and poet originally from Lander, Wyoming. At age 18 he served as an Army 82nd Airborne paratrooper in the Persian Gulf War. After his tour of duty, he was a varsity basketball player at San Francisco State University, and he received an M.A. from Northern Arizona University in 1998. Over the years he has grudgingly worked as a Sommelier, pharmaceutical representative, mortgage analyst, bartender, and college literature instructor. He currently lives and writes near Boulder, Colorado.

Although he started as a fiction writer, Seth has also had great success with his attentions to poetry, and in the last five years has shown a prolificiency and seriousness in both forms. His work could be described as Postmodern, satirical, surreal, intellectual, comic, and often a bit mad. Thematically his work tends to examine the modern existential dilemma with longing, sadness, and frustration, lightly cut with bouts of absurd lunacy.

He has been published in a number of top journals and magazines, including the Atlanta Review, Rosebud, Witness, tte Antioch Review, The Indiana Review, the Crab Orchard Review, the North American Review, and in numerous anthologies. His poetry collection, entitled, "Mormon Boy" will be available soon in bookstores.
