Dickinson is the author of four poetry collections: I Am That Road (Beltway Editions, 2025), Life List Notes (Sligo Creek, 2021), together with his wife, poet Nancy Allinson, What a Windstorm Teaches (Sligo Creek, 2019) and My Concept of Time (Finishing Line, 2014). He was poet of the month for May 2015 for the online journal Blue Heron Review. Dickinson’s poems have appeared in Beltway Poetry Quarterly, California Quarterly, Innisfree Poetry Quarterly, and the Russian language weekly Kontinent (in translation) and several other print and online journals. He and Nancy live in Friendship Heights, Washington, D.C.

“Dickinson’s road is an assembly of lines, of geometries and definitive materials in search of eternity, built to withstand time — prefabricated lines stretched across the plane, awaiting a wanderer. The immigrant walks among the verses and scrap metal. At this point, language intersects, and Dickinson’s Spanish opens a slit for introspection — for circular memories like slices of lemon, and divine journeys that end in floral flames. The relentless path remains; the lines lead forward, but also upward — a poetic pilgrimage that drags the asphalt and fuses it with a jacaranda tree in a bilingual space.”
---Daniela Hernádez Rodríguez, Johns Hopkins Department of Modern Languages and Literatures.
