Nick Flynn's first book, Some Ether (Graywolf Press, 2000), a finalist for the L.A. Times Book Prize, won the PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award, a 'Discovery'/THE NATION prize, and The Larry Levis Reading Prize from Virginia Commonwealth University. Blind Huber, his second collection of poetry, appeared from Graywolf in 2002. Stanley Kunitz has called it "an act of the poetic imagination unlike any other." He has also been awarded fellowships from the Library of Congress and the Guggenheim Foundation, as well as an Amy Lowell Traveling Poetry Fellowship, which allowed him to spend two years moving between Italy, Ireland, and Tanzania. Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, a memoir about his father and homelessness, was published by Norton in 2004.
