    Nigel Kent
    Sent, Nigel Kent’s pamphlet of epistolary poems, begins with a work that ironically marks the end of the letter form. Yet as the remainder of the collection makes clear, with the advent of alternative means of messaging, opportunities today for using the written word to communicate to others have proliferated. Pieces such as his text from a jilted lover, his DM to a headliner p...

  • Fall
    Nigel Kent
    Fall, Nigel Kent’s latest pamphlet, eavesdrops on an affair that has devastating consequences for a marriage of ten years. This narrative sequence of poems forensically dissects the complex nature of love.

  • Benchwarmers
    Nigel Kent
    Benchwarmers, Nigel Kent’s latest pamphlet, gives a voice to those who live their lives at the margins, such as the autistic boy, the looked-after child, the young offender, the anorexic, the painfully shy.

  • Unmuted
    Nigel Kent
    Nigel Kent’s collection of ekphrastic poems,'Unmuted', is inspired by a gallery of famous works by artists from the present and the past.

  • Saudade
    Nigel Kent
    ‘‘Saudade’ captures the zeitgeist of an age seduced by social media with its images of idealised lives. Many of the characters in Nigel Kent’s first collection experience a deep sense of dissatisfaction and an irreconcilable longing for someone or something that they have either lost or never had. Sometimes this is because of unrealistic expectations, sometimes because of facto...
