I wrote a poem for #Haze #CounterculturePoetry - I won't spoil it by showing you the complete piece - here's a taster...

There are some themes. The winter to Spring was all about leaving X. June is filled with Pride themes. But most of all, they're just designed to push writers closer to the fringes. Our #Slimlines are our closest anthologies. We're open for #Haze #CounterculturePoetry throughout May.

Cover of Haze, a Slimline poetry anthology from The Broken Spine. A striking portrait of a person with an afro dominates the centre, rendered in high-contrast black and white. The background bursts with vivid, chaotic splashes of colour—reds, oranges, blues, and purples—evoking psychedelic art and street graffiti. The title "Haze SLIMLINE" overlays the image, and "THE BROKEN SPINE" is stamped in bold at the bottom left.

#PoemsAbout writers and #PoetsOfBlueSky — we’re open until May 31st for submissions to #Haze, our next Slimline anthology of bold, #CounterculturePoetry. Let your voice cut through the noise.
