Talking Small

Nico Reznick

Nico Reznick is a writer and spoken word performer of ambiguous immigrant extraction. Having spent her early life moving around various European countries as a “corporate army brat”, Nico currently lives in Shakespeare country with her editor and two feline overlords. She has appeared as a warm-up act for a number of established poets, and is a regular attendee and guest at local spoken word events. Nico's darkly comedic début novel, Anhedonia, and her first collection of poetry, Over Glassy Horizons, are both available on Amazon. Nico has served stints as a dead-eyed bureaucrat (until realising there's only so much negative emotion you can bury in spreadsheets), as a purveyor of bad, smuggled wine (statute of limitations since expired) and as a political canvasser and campaign agent (she can tell you how a household will vote based solely on their front garden). While working as a barmaid, she developed the ability to write the word “tw*t” very legibly in the foam on a pint of Guinness. Besides writing, her interests include photographing rust, getting angry about politics and assembling Lego, which - she claims - centres her. She has very strong opinions about typefaces. more…
