Nick Thran is the author of two books of poetry: Every Inadequate Name (Insomniac) and Earworm (Nightwood).

Earworm, published in 2011, explores topics ranging from Picasso's Blue Period to the conceptual sculpture of Dennis Oppenheim and the natural world. Nick Thran's poems have appeared in Arc, The National Post, The Walrus, The Fiddlehead, and The Malahat Review, among others. Thran grew up in Western Canada, southern Spain, and southern California. He has spent the last few years living in Toronto, Ontario and Brooklyn, New York.
