My new book!

Nico Demers is a writer born and raised in San Diego, CA. He is a first-generation American of Mexican and French-Canadian descent. Donning a raccoon cap and his typewriter, Demers’ work started gaining traction online three years ago under the moniker “Bucknife”. Since then, he has been recognized in various magazines including The Daily Aztec, Rambl Mag, The Pace Press, and Vroom Literary Magazine. In 2022 Demers self-published two chapbooks, Guts and Crow, and in 2023 released his first full-length collection, Belly. While his early work tangibly reflected the beatnik movement, his untethered spirit has taken shape in a style that is distinctly his own. In 2024, he received his degree in English Literature with an emphasis on creative writing from San Diego State University. When not writing, Demers splits his time between surfing and running his Janitorial company.
