The One-Eared Squirrel

J. D. Nelson's poetry has appeared in many publications, worldwide, since 2002. He is the author of eleven 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. He also writes haiku in English. Nelson lives in Boulder, Colorado.
