How complete + final the feeling as I lift its curve in the net is a hybrid lyric-essay that moves between elegy, translation, & ecological witness, finding its gravitational centre in a sketch by Barrie Cooke of two figures hauling a pike from a boat.

We are open for full length poetry collection submissions until 31st May.
A very small percentage of people who submit to Broken Sleep Books actually buy a book from us. If every submitter bought just 1 title, it would make a huge difference.
