Autorenporträt

Robert Nichols is a former English teacher, truck driver, photographer, Maytag man, and carpenter-to name a few of the side lines he has pursued to support his family and his art. Currently, he writes full time when he isn't building a house, fixing a washing machine, teaching a class, or just sitting out in the backyard picking his banjo.

In the ensuing decades, my commitment to the art and craft of written communication has not lessened. Though practical considerations (like making a living) have laid claim to large portions of my time and energy, at the heart of all my endeavors I have remained steadfast to the calling of a poet. Regardless of literary genre, my words are driven by a soul-deep intent to fully experience the challenge and fascination of life and, most significantly, to communicate what is gleaned from this grand encounter. When I write a poem, a novel, an essay, a grocery list, or an e-mail to my insurance agent, I do so as one whose life is committed to a principle of writing with clarity, wit, and compassion. The goal of my art: to intimately express the Universal.
