about me

Hi there, my name is Nick Armbrister. I'm a guy from Manchester, England. As you can see from my interests, I have some cool ones and they keep me occupied. I'm rarely bored but do take time out to think. This often leads to new writing, which is my main interest. When it's not competing for my attention with music or aeroplanes or tattoos! I've been writing poetry since April 1996 and published since Nov 96. Very much part of the late 90s 'small press' writing scene, published in mags, 'zines, anthologies and later in the 00s, online and in my own books. I've worked for a publisher before but left due to editing issues. Self published a hundred books under Nick Armbrister and my pen name Jimmy Boom Semtex. My variety of work is huge. See my blog here. I've written with a wide variety of poets/authors. I'm proud to be me and live the life I do. I like working with others and new positive experiences. I'm 75% covered in tattoos and want more. Love to be creative, like hiking and the high ground and love aeroplanes.
