Navigating Dual Skies: PA's Nick Miele To Lead Barnes & Noble's Open Mic

Nick Miele went to college in Long Island and joined the United States Air Force as an avionics specialist servicing F-15 fighter craft, during which time he received an MA in Aeronautical Science. Currently he is with AirCastle, LLC, a Stamford-based firm specializing in supplying aircraft to commercial fleets worldwide.

Complementing these technical pursuits, Nick will take many of his selections, shared tonight at the cafe in the Stamford Barnes & Noble, from a series of progressively more challenging PoemAlley offerings spanning the last couple of years, building to a mosaical critique of stateside life during a time of dramatic economic and political upheaval.

Currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at Fairfield University, Nick will be one of the participants in the upcoming PA reading at the Edgehill Retirement Community in Stamford, scheduled for 20th at 4 PM. In the meantime, click on his own blog, Wordsmiths: A Gaggle of Poets, under "Associated Links" on the left for his latest observations, sources of inspiration and activities.   

Barnes & Noble's Open Mic night, hosted by Frank Chambers, begins the second Monday of each month at 7:15 pm in the Cooking section of the Stamford Town Center location.

Nick Miele To Participate In Writers' Opening Of New Fairfield University Bookstore

Join Nick Miele and other Fairfield University students tomorrow night as they celebrate the October opening of the university's new bookstore. Located on the site of the old Borders in downtown Fairfield, the new off-campus location is operated by Barnes & Noble and will be hosting "Stories, Stories, Stories", presenting selected essays, poetry and short fiction read by Nick and others newly-enrolled in the school's MFA in Creative Writing program.

Using his contributions to PoemAlley to dissect the subtlety with which the day-to-day and large-scale political worlds trade off one another's dysfunctionality, Nick works in Stamford, where he uses his Air Force background to provide technical analysis services at Aircastle, LLC, a company that leases and sells commercial jets to air carriers worldwide.
For a sampling of his poetry and literary commentary, go here, here and here. And don't forget to check out his blog, Wordsmiths: A Gaggle of Poets under "Associated Links" on the left.




Among the highlights of the evening will be excerpts from Where the Tall Grass Grows, a novel-in-progress set in Mali by award winning writer and editor, Adele Annesi. Nick's Ridgefield-based classmate also runs a monthly online workshop on editing from her blog, Adele M. Annesi and Word for Words, LLC at http://www.adeleannesi.com/Online-Writing-Workshop.html.
