Über den Autor

Nick Drake lives in London. His debut collection The Man in the White Suit (1999) was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection in 1999, and was selected for the Next Generation Poets promotion in 2004. From The Word Go followed from Bloodaxe in 2007. In 2010 he joined Cape Farewell's trip to the Arctic to explore climate change, and from that journey arose a commission to create poems and texts for the ground-breaking installation High Arctic at the National Maritime Museum (2011). Those poems, together with others inspired by the Arctic and its voices, are gathered in his third collection The Farewell Glacier (2012).
