FLASH SALE: 20% off until Sunday night. If there's a book you've been circling, or you fancy taking a punt on something new, now's a good time. Every order goes straight back into publishing writers the bigger presses overlook. That's the whole point of us. www.brokensleepbooks.com/books

Refusing a single stable register, the book oscillates between disgust and desire, silliness and compassion, enthusiasm and anxiety, while bodily excess and lyric feeling remain in uneasy proximity. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Its formal range is wide, moving from haiku-like compression to sprawling prose poems, and from mutating sestina to concrete pieces that burrow meaning into the page. Wonderling détourns literary and pop-cultural sources in funny, unsettling ways. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

pH tagada is a maximalist collection that runs language through the debris of contemporary life: brand names, dating apps, and the clinical prose of public-health letters. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

The pastoral invitation to come and live and be loved recurs with a sincerity the book neither ironises away nor lets settle, holding idyll and collapse in a single overexposed light. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Beneath the saturated surface runs an ecological dread of thawing permafrost, algal blooms, and forever chemicals, alongside a nostalgia for natures and memories never actually had. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Alex Lopez collages the diction of Marlowe & Wordsworth with platform vernacular, fashion vloggers, and continental theory, setting the text against doctored Old Master landscapes in which classical idylls are overlaid with denim, trainers, and server farms. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

@PSTORALS runs the pastoral tradition through the textures of the contemporary internet: a single sequence in five movements and an envoi where shepherd swains, lambs, and burbling brooks share the frame with Depop alerts, dropshipping, and crypto futures. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Forms range from rhymed sonnets & a heroic crown to aphoristic miniatures & free verse spread across the page. Dedicated to Ridland, who worked on it to within weeks of his death, it offers itself as a record of encounter rather than an authoritative survey. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

It sets established figures beside lesser-translated contemporaries, moving through the rupture of Trianon, the 1956 revolt, imprisonment and exile, the Hungarian language itself, and quieter philosophical and devotional registers. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Its title, borrowed from Czipott's earlier life as a physicist, names the chance-driven path by which the poems were found, through encounters, commissions and recommendations rather than any canonising scheme. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Random Walk gathers modern Hungarian verse translated by Peter V. Czipott and the late John Ridland, and edited by Johanna Domokos. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Reimaginings have been done before but it’s the scope of curiosity that sets Serpent and Stone apart. — Hanan Issa language as many-hued as a carnival and as brazen as a brass-band. — Matthew Francis www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Visceral and sensual, alert to bodily detail and unafraid of the darkly comic, the collection refuses the flattened roles these figures have inherited, voicing rage, desire, weariness and complicity in the same breath. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

The poems function as duets, placing archetypes in conversation: Athena beside Medusa, Belle beside Mrs Potts, Cinderella beside her stepsister. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Serpent and Stone, a poetry collaboration between Mari Ellis Dunning and Natalie Ann Holborow, gathers women from fairy tale, Greek myth, Shakespeare, biblical narrative, and the Mabinogion into a sequence of paired dramatic monologues. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Elegies, dream-poems, and lyric inhabit the same atmospheric register throughout: a world of beautiful, corrosive uncertainty in which the self is perpetually in dissolution. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Formally, the work moves between compressed lyric fragments and expansive prose meditations, the latter articulating a poetics of analogy in which language breaks identity apart to release connections unavailable to ordinary logic. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

The collection is shaped by a sustained engagement with the surrealist tradition and its fellow travellers: Rimbaud, Sade, Gherasim Luca, Alice Paalen Rahon, Magloire St. Aude. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Remora gathers four decades of poetry from Stuart Inman across four chronological sequences, spanning 1988 to 2023. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

these extraordinary and mysterious poems prove that Arthur Lawson is a poet to have on your radar, one to look out for. — Jackie Kay Notes on Swimming is admirably vulnerable, shifting in and out of dreamscapes to uncover buried grief. — C.H. Lieberman www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

The result is a quietly disquieting collection, attentive to how readily a body might forget its own shape. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Lawson moves between intimate address and oblique third person, and between airy lyric fragments and denser prose-leaning pieces, holding family, sexual harm and mental fragility within a single, slowly drifting register. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Across these poems, domestic interiors become submarines and kettles boil into oceanic dioramas, the marine world functioning less as setting than as the available vocabulary for dissociation, suppression and grief. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Notes on Swimming, Arthur Lawson's debut pamphlet, draws the queer self into a sustained nautical idiom in which bodies dissolve into sand, sink like whales, or wake feathered as swans. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Jean Portante stands among the most singular voices in contemporary poetry. — Víctor Rodríguez Núñez www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Punctuation follows the run of images rather than the logic of sentences, drawing the book's preoccupations with language, etymology, and migration into a wider literary cosmos and reordering its world at every scale. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Grief here is dispersed rather than confessional, pressed by the loss of Italian parents and the fracturing of an earthquake-struck city whose propped-up streets become a method, syntax continually jolted out of true. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Migratory birds, departing trains, roses, and leaking cosmic plumbing recur as a vocabulary of movement between north and south, between the human and a universe that exceeds it. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Cosmic Sadness gathers five sequences in which Jean Portante's imagination expands to an interstellar scale, Zoë Skoulding's facing-page translation carrying the French of La Tristesse Cosmique into the English language without settling its restlessness. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...
