We interview Caleb Nichols about his experience growing up with many adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and how he has turned those experiences into art through his writing and music.

Caleb Nichols is a queer poet and musician from California. His chapbook of poems "TEEMS///\\\RECEDES" was called "a gorgeous abundance" by Chen Chen, and his music has been featured and shared by places like Paste and Out Magazine. Caleb is a PhD candidate in Creative and Critical Writing at Bangor University in Wales where he's writing about queer ecopoetics in contemporary poetry, films, and media.
