Nick Vigil is 31 years old and lives in Hillsborro, TX. “My love for writing began in elementary school, but poetry in particular has been a passion of mine since discovering the work of Edgar Allan Poe when I was a teenager. Strangely, one of my greatest influences for my poetry also came from the lyrics of the band Bush. I admire the style of their phrasing and how they encorporate words with dual meanings. The emotions that I put on to paper are very exact to me, but my goal is to express it in such a way that illicits a thousand interpretations. In my opinion, poetry can be everything to everybody.” Christopher Woods is a writer, teacher and photographer who lives in Houston and Chappell Hill, Texas. http://christopherwoods.zenfolio.com/ Thank you also to staff who submit creative work for consideration as well.
