When asked about living artists he finds remarkable, Nordin responded, “Charles Krafft, Jeff Day, Tony Angell, Peter Jordan, Boris Spivik, come to mind, and I have to mention, Bob Dylan's poetry and music kept me alive from time to time.”

The Wrighter, in the past, has posted interviews with several artists such as Vladimir Kush, Camille Eskell and Nori Shirasu.
