Minimal dark teal cover with clean white typography; large title “Broken Sleep Books 2025” at the top left; a smaller line reads “Edited by: Aaron Kent & Stuart McPherson”; publisher credit “Broken Sleep Books” sits subtly at the bottom left.
The Broken Sleep Books Anthology 2025 gathers standout, risk-taking writing from every publication of the year, spanning poetry, non-fiction and fiction.

Delighted to have a poem in the next issue of Southword
Happy to have received this nomination
With classes underway, I’ve switched from essays to exams. But with the death of the student essay (RIP, slain by ChatGPT), there’s a larger human tragedy: an erosion of critical cognition and the creation of two sharply divided classes of people: those who learn how to think and those who don’t:
I also have two poems in this new anthology edited by Charlotte Cosgrove. The quality of these books - inside and out - is so good. Find it on Amazon.
Delighted to have a poem included in this excellent anthology - well worth a look:
