New Micro-chapbooks!

Dear Scribblers and Subscribers,

On Friday 10th May at 12:00PM exactly we are launching our two latest microchapbooks! These are DREAMSIMULATION by Chloe Elliott and Fishnet by Ask Asad Kably Vestergaard. There are a limited number of hand-made copies, so if you want one, you’re better off acting sooner rather than later!

They will be available via The Braag’s online store.

Each one is made from 100gsm ivory paperstock with a 250gsm cover handstamped and numbered with the Braag logo.

DREAMSIMULATION by Chloe Elliis a surreal sequence of poems steeped in dream logic. People, places and events shift, griefs resurface and at all times we are guided by Elliott’s precise and uncanny voice. Elliott’s images enthral, full of clear night air and the feeling you might’ve left something behind.

“He climbs past bright shells and rotting shrimp, past crumbling sand castles and figureheads on creaking shipwrecks. He climbs through clouds, he crests a vast knee, and then he follows the frightened gulls even further, higher and higher and higher still. He has passed the nets entirely, and now uses grease-slippy pores as footholds to aid his ascension. His fingers freeze and his eardrums are battered into ringing by the terrible wind, but still he climbs.”

Fishnet by Ask Asad Kably Vestergaard is about one man's quest to stop a giant from crying, and all that comes after it. A fairytale about beauty, the ocean, and human greed. Fishnet is a lush little pearl of a book.

Finally - Carmen et Error submissions remain open until the end of the month under the editorship of Sarah Royston, so do get your work to our strange little micro journal! We’d love to hear from you.
