Nick Flynn’s creativity knows no bounds. While he has written many books of poetry, including My Feelings, his most recent out from Graywolf Press, he is also the author of a play, a textbook, and three memoirs, one of which was adapted into the film Being Flynn. He’s also won many awards, including the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award for Poetry. In his words, he has worked as “a ship's captain, an electrician, [and] a case-worker with homeless adults” though now he holds a prestigious teaching position at the University of Houston.
