The topics and themes are covered honestly, and with refreshing vulnerability in the language used. In each poem there is something of a journey - involving lostness, a seeking and in the end an acceptance of the events described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNick Conroy's paged poetry is like the written musical score of his live performance, which has to be seen to be fully appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNick is currently studying for a Master's in English at the University of Hull. Poetry has always been at the centre of his passion as a writer, and since childhood he's enjoyed spoken word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe moved to Hull in 2014, with an understanding that the city is still revered for its poets. He senses something haunting and intoxicating about Hull, and the community of writing that it holds in high regard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Conroy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1916489613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916489615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wild Pressed Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.12d","brand":"Nick Conroy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486321389823,"sku":"9781916489615","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21f2884b-a8b0-4af9-8c04-fab01a9c9a04.jpg?v=1778054881","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghosts-nick-conroy-9781916489615","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
