“Experimental Poetry Climbing Ever Higher”

When you come across a poet with an ineffable sense of creating art that bites back, that’s when you know you’ve stumbled upon a person who was brought into this complex world to share important things. J.D. Nelson is one such artist. Hailing from the Coloradoan purple mountain majesty, Nelson is an essential neoBeat writer specializing in obscure and experimental poetry one dares not fully define. Nelson has been widely published in various literary circles, celebrating over 1,000 published pieces from 2002 to 2010. And his literary future is sure to bring only more good fortune. His recent chapbook is NOISE DIFFICULTY FLOWER, and it’s... More > a collection of works infused with sci-fi surrealism that hammers sharp wit, evasive tone and dubious societal judgments. Possibly best utilized as performance pieces, the poetry in NOISE DIFFICULTY FLOWER might at first present itself as a bit whimsical and hyperbolic in imagery, but that’s just part of its clever nature. When a reader fully submits to Nelson’s prosody, one gets jetted away to locales indescribable — and the brief journey is quite worthwhile. Download a free copy of J.D. Nelson’s NOISE DIFFICULTY FLOWER and let your mind artistically bounce ever so sweetly.
