AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'“nibs & nubs is a collection of stray words, yoked and reassembled into attractive shapes, tested for cadence and vowel roundness, and finally ornamented with late imperial birds. The poems are geographically distractable, addled with the mystique of etymology, and suspended between the lures of irony and the muted terrors of introspection. Here is a first collection that depict the years of lust and wanderlust as recollected and reorganised in slowly sobering afterlife.”' --Publisher.

— Review of Nibs and Nubs Josh Stenberg , 2024 selected work poetry

'When I first received the manuscript for nibs & nubs, I was immediately intrigued by the title. What are these ‘nibs’ and ‘nubs’? They are written in lower case and joined by an ampersand, so that they look like humble specks on the page. The effect is surprising and puzzling, as well as beguiling.' (Introduction)
