Eric Nixon’s eighth poetry collection follows the author’s journey as he leaves his twenty-year career as an award-winning hotel manager in the Pacific Northwest to pursue his dream of becoming a full-time writer, while moving to a small Midwestern town. These 115 poems showcase Nixon’s observational prowess of all things during a notable year of change.
My new novel, 2492: Attack Of The Ancient Cyborg, is AVAILABLE NOW!
About the book
Bryn Struse has a lot to worry about.
The orphaned daughter of humanity-saving inventors will soon turn eighteen and inherit the largest company in the Solar Union’s history. Getting to that day will involve her uncovering evidence surrounding her parents’ disappearance, avoiding mobsters intent on kidnapping her, and surviving a 200-year-old cyborg hell-bent on killing her.
With the help of her best friend, Amory, Bryn traverses the dangerous chessboard of trouble and intrigue, which takes place in the near-utopian, space-based setting of the year 2492.
I tend to write a decent amount of poems, enough each year to publish a collection. To date, I have written over 1,000 poems spread across my eight books.
Garrison Keillor has read my poem, “Riding The Red Line,” twice on his program, The Writer’s Almanac - once in 2011 (my poem begins at 2:46), and again in 2018 (my poem begins at 4:50).
