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

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
