Parabéns, @ismaelramosc.bsky.social
Ismael Ramos has won the O Henry Prize for his short story The Hare/A lebre, translated from Galician by Jacob Rogers - sensational news! Hopefully this means we'll get the whole collection in English in the near future...
37 years on from the day that led to the unlawful deaths of 97 Liverpool fans and a year on from when a promised Hillsborough Law should have been in place, the message to the Prime Minister is simple…

"The Palm House is a funny book. Part of me wants to write blackly funny; darkly funny — but in truth, it’s the humour that operates the levers of complexity."

Cada vez que se le presupone antiintelectualismo a la clase trabajadora me acuerdo de las casas currantes con Biblioteca Básica Salvat RTV, del Círculo de Lectores, Barco de Vapor y de que en este país las mujeres de barrio impulsaron los actuales clubes de lectura.

It's a delight to share an excerpt from MY DREADFUL BODY out today. Egana Djabbarova portrays the complexities of living in multiple cultures from a point of view of a growing child, both so relatable and unique to this character.
Huge thanks to @yelenafurman.bsky.social for help editing!

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.
