Synopsis

Dr. R. Nikolas Macioci earned a PhD from The Ohio

State University and taught English, Writers' Seminar

(a course he created for select students), and Drama in

Columbus City Schools. OCTELA, the Ohio Council of

Teachers of English, awarded Nik Macioci best secondary

English teacher in the state of Ohio.

He won First Place in the l987 National Writer's Union

Poetry Competition judged by Denise Levertov, First

Place in The Baudelaire Award Competition sponsored by

The World Order of Narrative and Formalist Poets (1989).

Second Place in Zone 3's first annual Rainmaker Awards,

the Writer's Digest annual competition, Judged by Diane

Wakoski (1991).

Nik is the author of two chapbooks, Cafes of Childhood, and

Greatest Hits, as well as five books: Cafes of Childhood

(the original chapbook with additional poems), Why

Dance?, Necessary Windows, Mother Goosed and Occasional

Heaven. Forth-coming is Rough. His book, Cafes of Child-

hood was submitted for the Pulitzer Prize. Critics and

judges called Cafes of Childhood a "beautifully harrowing

account of child abuse, but not "sentimental" or self-

pitying" an "amazing book," and "a single unified whole."

In addition, Nik's work has been published in more than

two hundred magazines here and abroad. Most recently,

Macioci has published in The Society of Classical Poets

journal, Concho River Review, The Comstock Review, Blue

Unicorn, and Chiron Review. He is a member of Bistro
