"In the hollow of the wave" by Nina Mingya Powles (Nine arches press, 2025)

Poems from Poetry Review, Magma, etc

Beyond me. I liked "Snow fragment", "Dog-hearted" and "Blue trees".

Other reviews

  • Rebecca Tamas (The book also deftly engages with the uneasy beauty of nature during a time of ecological crisis, drawing on her upbringing in Aotearoa New Zealand to create vividly unsettling images of a changing world)
  • Jade Cuttle (At first, the collection seems more interested in fabric than any form of terra firma. ... But then a shift – subtle but sure – towards more consequential themes occurs.)
