Exciting book post today. I was rapt by @jayfarley.bsky.social 's #poetry at a recent @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social reading, and moved by how they spoke of finding their writing/performing voice when discovering their non-binary identity at the age of 48.
![A photo of two books published by Broken Sleep books and a bookmark fanned out on a white background. The books are the anthology 'Opening Line', edited by Aaron Kent which has a swirly orange and peach coloured cover, and 'A [Cupboard] Full of Tomboys' by Jay Farley, which features a poem presented/shaped like a washing label, with the words in larger letters at the top '100% NON BINARY?'. The bookmark is a blank reading list with columns for 'title', 'date started' and 'rating'.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:svenoegtayebcwkqer25gofb/bafkreicgfkjxgf7ktxr3g3m4d75ftuejmgc3jkgbzxxfm6hx62apmmxpme@jpeg)

My debut poetry book is live!
Discovering my Non-binary identity aged 48 was profound & I found my voice as a performer & poet. I became award winning, published in anthologies.
And now my debut book of poetry, under the mentorship of TS.Elliot Award winning Joelle Taylor.
How cool is that!

![The cover of the book "A [Cupboard] Full of Tomboys" by Jay Farley, published by Broken Sleep Books. The title is in bold black text at the top, with the author's name in smaller red text underneath. Below is a "laundry care" label graphic with the text "100% NON BINARY?" followed by a series of icons and instructions written in a playful tone, including lines like "Machine wash label at 30° degrees of gender & pinch of salt" and "Do not bleach by white supremacy." It ends with "Made in the Patriarchy" and "Keep away from socials" in bold red. The publisher's name is printed at the bottom. The design is minimalist with a white background.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sx4pokgqq5zcqmfi4c3pv5un/bafkreif6wbpoyqakmrmpeny3twuof7d7cr32bcsvty7fhfu6arnybbxksa@jpeg)
