Lamentation | Broken Sleep Books, 2026
Lamentation | Broken Sleep Books, 2026
Lamentation by Linda Kemp is a sustained poetic indictment of austerity and the financialisation of care, structured across seven long sections moving through workforce precarity, the NHS, adult social care, foodbanks, and the self-care industry. Kemp works in the registers of liturgy, biblical lament, and feminist political economy, fracturing syntax with tildes, doubled commas, and ruptured lineation so that critique and prayer share the same breath.

Annunciation Sonnets | Broken Sleep Books, 2024
Annunciation Sonnets climbs out of the frame of the sonnet and through speculative encounters with artworks depicting the annunciation, probes form and rupture. What can be done with and to form, out of suspicion of the form, concerns form, and in re-encountering the annunciation tableaux Linda Kemp steers a poetic encounter into a querying of propositions subtending a language of art.
