The Broken Sleep Books 2026 Anthology, edited by Aaron Kent, gathers work from all of Broken Sleep Books' 2026 titles, arranged month by month and ranging from Welsh slate quarries and the Isles of Scilly to bombed Aleppo and a Beirut stage. Grief, parenthood, chronic illness, and austerity recur across the year, set beside video games, TikTok, slasher cinema, and Welsh myth, while the writing moves between elegy, testimony, surreal comedy, and linguistic experiment. Read in sequence, the months build a record of a press for which the kitchen, the outpatients’ garden, and the scrolling feed are all places where politics is lived.
