Title: In The Hollow Of The Wave
Author: POWLES NINA MINGYA
\”I lay strips of pale peach
cotton and cloud-printed cloth side by side.
Each becomes a strange,
asymmetric quilt block.
Each block like a sentence,
each sentence an island, all the islands loosely touching.\”
In her second book of poetry, 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.
