“Whether speaking personally or politically, of despair or determination, the passion he exudes on stage is undeniable. Nick translates this to the page whilst keeping his humour unapologetic and with a vulnerability which had me hooked the first time I experienced his words.”

“Nick Lovell’s poems are born of hard-lived experience and are part street-smart spoken word sass, part existential howl. Brave and candid, taking no prisoners in his raging against social injustice, exploitation and bone-headed stupidity, Lovell writes with urgency and passion. Yet there’s also a playfulness with sound, an impish inventiveness, a cynical wit, and a gentle compassion for those handed a raw deal by life. Whether drawing on personal trauma or skewering the horrors of modern life, he makes the reader sit up and listen.”

“Every poem of Nicks oozes with the salty sting of modern life. Moving but honest and with just a touch of hope. Best read after a traumatic day at work.”
