About Raven’s Wing Poetry

Nicole Nicholson

I am Nicole Nicholson, a 32 year-old writer currently living in Columbus, OH and the creator of Raven’s Wing Poetry. I draw inspiration from history, legends and folklore, people, nature, the vast cosmos of being…and upon occasion, the voices in my head. I am the founder and sole contributor to this blog, and my work has recently appeared in Young American Poets (http://youngamericanpoets.blogspot.com), Shoots and Vines Zine (http://shootsandvineszine.blogspot.com), and the Orlando Artist’s Collective Zine. I live in Columbus, Ohio with my fiancé.

I read at the Writer’s Block Poetry open mic poetry nights held at Kafe Kerouac and at Writing Wrongs Poetry, held at Urban Spirit Coffee Shop. I published my first chapbook, “Raven Feathers”. To see my performance schedule as well as announcements about upcoming poetry events around Central Ohio, please check out the Events page.

  2. Thank you for the complement. I will be posting much more work, especially with an upcoming challenge I am participating in to write 100 poems during the month of April. :) For those of you who have no idea what challenge I’m talking about, check out http://fringemonkey.wordpress.com/2008/03/18/lets-start-a-revolution/ for more details.

  3. Thank you so much for the comment on my poem. I don’t consider myself a poet at all, sometimes I just write what’s on my mind. Coming from you, the compliment really means so much. Thanks again and have a great weekend!

  4. No problem. I would say that anyone who desires to express him or herself through writing poetry is poet, so by that definition, you are indeed a poet, and what I saw was poetry, and very good poetry at that. Keep writing. :)

  5. I enjoy reading your work. I was wondering, would you recommend an open mic night for someone who has never read in public before?

  6. Well, here’s what I did: I went to an open mic night, with the intent of observing first. I ended up reading my first night. It’s pretty much up to you, but I can tell you that open mics would probably be a good place to start. As I said, you can go and watch for a few nights, and then jump in and sign up. Or you can be a crazy fool like me and read the first night. :) It’s up to you.

    Have you ever read “The Idiot’s Guide to Slam Poetry”? There is some good information about open-micing and slamming. It’s written by the slampappy himself, Marc “So What” Smith. More info from Worldcat.org here on this book: http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=worldcat_org_bks&q=9781592572465&fq=dt%3Abks

    Thanks, and good luck,

    -Nicole
