'The Arran Hills from the String Road,'

Nix works with various art forms therapeutically, such as photography, lino-prints, gouache, oil pastels, and watercolour.

'The Three Sisters,' from Nix's third book, 'The Glass Poet,' (March 1st, 2022).

An epitaph of

Fallen embers

Faced with stone pillars

Conscripted, compartmentalised dogmatic rust

Rounded white and battle-weary

Percolated trusts

Where paperless trees

Held typewriter keys

And blood let ribbon strangled lead

'Inverkip Bay,' Scotland 2021.

When night evades all light

I had to let you go

As firebrands electrified the hearth

I sought sanctuary cold beneath
