ONE POEM – Daniel Hinds Hooves leave a hard imprint, a dark wet mark. Hoof-clop like the noise your tongue makes When it leaves the roof of your mouth.

"It must terrify you, that words said in a certain way
Can tear you from your house."

There is also my debut poetry collection, which I should probably mention! www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Pamphlet submissions are open at my publisher @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social! Before submitting why not buy a few books to get a sense of what they might like? Recent releases and preorders include @marymulholland.bsky.social @betarish.bsky.social and @alexhouen.bsky.social

A realistic illustration of a silverfish insect is centered on a stark white background. The title The Vitalist Sees the Signs appears in bold serif font at the top, with the author’s name, G B Clarkson, beneath it. “Broken Sleep Books” is printed small and grey at the bottom.

The Vitalist Sees the Signs is a sly, searing, and spectacularly inventive sequence from GB Clarkson, where each poem casts its eye on the absurd, the divine, and the intimately strange.

The front cover of New Famous Phrases by Daniel Hinds published by Broken Sleep Books. An array of brown shades in slanting lines and oval shapes, suggestions of De Stijl, neoplasticism, but not so regimented, softened with a more mysterious vanishing point, a touch of Kandinsky
