Drawing inspiration from Nicholas Powell s enchanting and disorientating
experience of moving to Helsinki, Finland, his poems are concerned with
fluctuating perceptions, and with the relationship of language to
meaning and aesthetics. Subjects range from the personal to the
political, to art, nature, and love. Tonally, it takes in the stark,
playful, tender, and ironic. This collection will dazzle and delight
with its stylistic experiments and depth of insight."
