Small press books are such a joy—Animal Heart Press, Loblolly Press, Belle Point Press here! 📚💙

Friends, this is a strikingly good book. Incisive, imaginative work from a poet you'll want to know more of. Pre-orders matter! Take a chance on this one. You won't be disappointed.
Number of days to go until Naoise Gale's chapbook Blue But Not Broken enters the world? TWO!
Naoise shares her experiences of neurodiversity, addiction, anxiety and more in these smart, powerful poems.
Not too late to grab yourself a copy!
