Nadia's debut poetry pamphlet 'Stephen the Phlebotomist' is now available from Nine Pens Press! 'Stephen the Phlebotomist' is about vampires, Jesus, and a year spent locked indoors. Written with unimaginable tenderness and humour, Lines’ poetry explores the turbulence of student life and the love it facilitates. Bruno Cooke, for The Friday Poem, described it as 'it is a statement of intent, and proof of potential', saying that 'Lines has something, and may be one to watch.' |
