Cover of "out.skirts: an anthology of LGBTQIA+ writing" from The Broken Spine. The background is a vibrant gradient mosaic of small square tiles, shifting from yellow at the top through orange to deep pink at the bottom. The title "out.skirts" is in bold white lowercase text, with a black banner below reading "an anthology of LGBTQIA+ writing" in white. The Broken Spine logo appears at the bottom left.

Cover of "Untamed Love: The Whiskey Tree – Wave 2" from The Broken Spine. A ecopunk heart made of gears, pipes, and clock parts is intertwined with green leaves and white flowers. Geometric transparent overlays intersect the heart image. The text "WAVE 2" appears in the top left, and the title is at the bottom in bold grey and black text. The Broken Spine logo is placed in the lower left corner.
