1 2 y separately published work icon Trap Landscape Nick Powell , St Lucia : Hunter Publishers , 2022 24505395 2022 selected work poetry

'Trap Landscape charts a course, trick-riding through poetic topography. From cubist paddocks approaching Paris, past council roadworks, and on to the terraced slopes of Hvar, Nicholas Powell surveys the sacred miscellany to find tulips in the chimney, the scenic peaks of the landfill, and rifles in the maize.

'Word play and vernacular collide to re-imagine language in a dreamscape that is by turns pastoral and surreal, ominous and absurd.

'It’s all fun and games until you’re caught in the Trap Landscape.'

1 5 y separately published work icon Water Mirrors Nick Powell , St Lucia : University of Queensland Press , 2012 Z1871345 2012 selected work poetry 'Water Mirrors was inspired by the author Nicholas Powell's "enchanting and disorientating" experience of moving to Finland. His poems circle intimacy, illusions, and the task of reconciling the many facets of experience. It is concerned with fluctuating perceptions, and with the relationship of language to meaning and aesthetics. Subjects range from the personal to the political, to art and nature.'
