Nicolas James Hampton is the twenty nine year old Michigan State University dropout who wouldn’t stop showing up to Diane Wakoski’s office hours. In his entire life he’s never once lived alone, and the experiences he’s had living with strange curiosities has greatly influenced his writing aesthetic. A former poetry editor for The Litribune, he helped publish the first three issues of the magazine. He’s lived in Chicago, IL, Lansing, MI, and now lives in his hometown of Kalamazoo, MI. Nicolas has been an intern for the Poets In Print reading series at the Kalamazoo Book Arts Club, a guest speaker for Western Michigan University's DEARTS (Direct Involvement with the Arts) class, and a founding editor of Asylum Lake Magazine. He's performed across Michigan and Chicago, and would take any invites to perform elsewhere at seste87 (at) gmail.com
