The Beautiful Place

In 2014, Nick released his debut collection of poetry, Perception of Light, following this during the next year with Subdued Anthems and Strange Country, two volumes of earlier material. The Beautiful Place develops the personal narratives that commenced with Perception of Light while addressing wider concerns suggested in travel east and west - continuity and impermanence, the significance or otherwise of the individual and the opposing prospects of extinction and survival. Conscious, always, of work and the thousand mundane tyrannies/that rule the home , this collection embraces the solace of the beautiful and its manifestation in different contexts, including that of the ordinary yet miraculous .
