Rob Nieves is a poet and debut author from Orlando whose work explores survival, fatherhood, faith, street memory, trauma, and redemption. Shaped by spoken-word cadence, rap-inflected lyricism, and unflinching personal testimony, his writing moves between confession and confrontation, tenderness and grit. His debut collection, Testimonies Through a Cracked Window, examines manhood, memory, loss, and spiritual reckoning through a voice committed to telling difficult truths plainly.
