I am Nic Sebastian, hailing from Arlington, Virginia. I travel widely and am mother to two sons who move with me as we can make it happen. I am building an audio poetry anthology containing my readings of contemporary poets at Whale Sound. (The prevailing accent there notwithstanding, I am very much a proud American.)

Hi there,
I am amazed that your name is Nick Sebastian as it is my husband’s name (Nic) and my son’s name (Sebastian)…totally cosmic! Enjoy your poetry.
Fellow poet,
Jes Wright
It’s Nic, not Nick, so even weirder! Say hi to Nic and Sebastian for me and thanks for stopping by! Nic
Thanks for all of this, Nic. I found you through the discussion on Wompo re self-publishing.
Writing in Twisp,
Ann Douglas
Very glad you did! Thanks for stopping by, Ann.
Dear NS:
I love the line of inquiry suggested by your questions for poets on technology series. But I’m a little shocked at some of the preconceptions (and, as far as I can tell by the names of poets selected, the relatively narrow field). You might want to talk with some folks who might consider themselves E-poets or digital writers …
Yes, E poets are everywhere. I find this technology series fascinating and will link to it shortly

Hi, I just started a blog on WordPress and came upon your work. Really good stuff! I live in Falls Church and have two little ones too, so I imagine our lives are similar off the screen.
Will follow your blog…take care!
Hi Donna – nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by!
