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. I’ve 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

'a poet of scale, imagination and verve'

Thanks very much to The High Window and Rona Fitzgerald for this wonderful review of my debut @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social poetry collection New Famous Phrases. thehighwindowpress.com/2025/06/23/t...

By taking a step back from everyday experience and viewing it anew via an esoteric literary filter so as to understand it better, Hinds is reminding us that other poetries are still possible in the contemporary landscape...

I have two poems anthologised in this publication, 'Aneirin' & 'Dear Sydney Graham'. Looking forward to reading the full anthology. Many congratulations to @acidbathpublishing.bsky.social for their 5 year anniversary too!

Happy Star Wars day! The closest I get to being Luke Skywalker turning off his targeting computer during the Death Star trench run is when I turn off grammar and spell checks on the Word document of a poem I'm writing. #MayThe4th #Maythe4thBeWithYou
