Bio: 

Since 2002, more than 2,500 of Nelson’s poems have appeared internationally in more than 300 print and online publications.

He is the author of eleven print chapbooks and e-books of poetry, including purgatorio (wlovolw, 2024).

His first full-length collection is in ghostly onehead (Post-Asemic Press, 2022).

Nelson’s poetry is greatly influenced by Dada and Surrealism, and also by the work of the Beat writers, especially Jack Kerouac’s spontaneous prose technique and the cut-up technique pioneered by William S. Burroughs. Most of his poems are created through the cutting up and collaging of his own freewriting. Nelson also writes haiku and senryū in English.

His work has been nominated for Best of the Net and The Haiku Foundation Touchstone Award for Individual Poems.

Nelson lives in Colorado, USA.
