Nina Powles

‘The National Poetry Library was one of the first places I visited when I moved to London. Right away it felt a bit like my home away from home.

‘A zinemaker at heart, I’m always on the lookout for strange, gorgeous poetry pamphlets and zines that are also interesting, tactile physical objects. Some of my favourite items include Pema Monaghan’s acid-yellow riso-printed pamphlet The Last Word on Mum, a rare edition of Yoko Ono’s artist book Grapefruit, and Nancy Campbell’s hazy, haunting set of letterpress prints, How to Say ‘I Love You’ in Greenlandic.’
