My debut poetry collection Sine Qua Non is now available at both Loganberry Books and Mac's Backs in Cleveland, so stop by and pick up a signed copy!

I’m excited to be included this year’s Midwest Traveling Haiku Rock Garden!

The Midwest-Themed 2025 Exhibit: 11/32

Poem by Elliot Nicely, first published in Modern Haiku Volume 49.1, Winter/Spring 2018.

I’m honored to be included in this year’s exhibition.

Please join me in congratulating the poets featured in the Midwest-Themed 2025 Exhibit! Beginning tomorrow, one new rock will be unveiled each day at 10 a.m. Eastern—32 days, 32 poets, 32 rocks.

Every poet in the exhibit either calls the Midwest home today or has lived here in the past, and I’m deeply grateful to them for trusting me with their work. I invite you to enjoy this sequenced exhibit—whether you encounter it in person or online—and thank you for your interest in this project!

Good Friday! I'm the featured writer on the Cuyahoga County Public Library's "Read + Write Poetry" Blog. Hope you enjoy my latest offering!
