The Broken Sleep Books Anthology 2025 gathers standout, risk-taking writing from every publication of the year, spanning poetry, non-fiction and fiction. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Alanis Morissette by Jake Wild Hall is a sprawling, tender, and formally inventive collection that weaves fatherhood, friendship, grief, and masculinity into a shifting, polyphonic tapestry. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Elle: A Verse Novel by Robert Sheppard is a fierce, densely layered détournement, refashioning Joseph Kessel’s Belle de Jour through splices, warpings, and an unnerving overlay of 1960s Brighton scandal onto a surrealist template. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Patrick Davidson Roberts’ Divided Tongues is a structurally expansive and thematically intricate collection that navigates national identity, violence, myth, and displacement with tonal precision and rhetorical urgency. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Mohamed Hassan’s National Anthem is a layered, politically charged collection that moves between lyric intimacy and cultural critique with clarity and force. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Anticulturalist Manifesto by Joe Shooman is a volatile, confrontational tract that gleefully atomises authorship, culture and interpretation in favour of a self-cancelling absolutism. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

SUBMISSION CALL: We are open for poetry pamphlet/chapbook submissions until 30th November. A very small percentage of people who submit actually buy a book from us. If everybody who submitted bought a book it'd be a massive boost to us. Full guidelines here: www.brokensleepbooks.com/submissions
