It offers a sharp snapshot of contemporary literature while reflecting a working-class ethos & a commitment to degentrification, community power & accessible culture. A vibrant, dynamic & award-winning independent press distilled into one compelling volume.

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 authorβs name, G B Clarkson, beneath it. βBroken Sleep Booksβ 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
My signed copy of New Famous Phrases by Daniel Hinds (Broken Sleep Books) has arrived. Iβve heard Daniel read his poems twice now & relished their vitality, original phrasing & imagery, & erudition. Looking forward to exploring them further @danielghinds.bsky.social @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social
