Book Launch: In the Hollow of the Wave by Nina Mingya Powles

We're thrilled to have Nina Mingya Powles back in Aotearoa to celebrate the launch of her second collection of poetry, In The Hollow of the Wave, published by Auckland University Press.

The collection is described as a hand-stitched seascape of words and images from an award-winning writer.

Nina Mingya Powles skilfully threads together themes of belonging and material inheritance against a backdrop of verse, collage and textile. From shorelines in Aotearoa, the UK and across Asia, this collection moves through words and images to explore water and the body, sewing and artmaking, personal histories and multicultural identities. In the Hollow of the Wave questions the possibilities of what a poem can be.

All welcome!
