Nick Flynn Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: b. January 26, 1960
Birthday: January 26
I became an electrician after high school. But I always had this thing in me to write. But it was always a little shameful. To say you were a poet was saying you were kind of crazy, and I carried that around for a long time. I still kind of carry that. And I think it might be true, actually.
