“Children under, say, ten, shouldn’t know / that the universe is ever-expanding…” Cennemi Diaz, the 2017 Los Angeles County Poetry Out Loud winner, recites Nick Flynn’s poem “Cartoon Physics, part 1.” Anndee Hochman writes about Poetry Out Loud, a national recitation competition for high school students, in “The Poem Chooses You” in the March/April issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.

Nick Flynn reads a poem by William Blake and “Cathedral of Salt,” a poem from his new collection, My Feelings (Graywolf Press, 2015) for the P.O.P. video series, which was shot and edited by Rachel Eliza Griffiths in partnership with the Academy of American Poets. Flynn’s fourth poetry collection is featured in Page One in the current issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.

To anyone who has read Nick Flynn's 2004 memoir, the new movie starring Robert DeNiro, Paul Dano, and Julianne Moore will be known as Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. To Hollywood, it is known as Being Flynn, forthcoming next spring from director Paul Weitz.

This documentary about a wannabe poet who sets off on a quest for answers about writing, featuring interviews with literary figures such as Nick Flynn, D.A. Powell, George Saunders, and David Sedaris, opened in select cities on Friday.
