DON’T WAKE THE POETS
“A read that keeps pulling its reader in with line after line, page after page, and chapter after chapter… So much of what comes up in the various poetry and prose requires having some general knowledge to fully indulge in the depth and marvel at the beauty of what Hartleigh has done. So come ready with some basic understanding of art in its various forms to enjoy the tapestry woven here.” -Reitumetse Mokoena, Reedsy Discovery
“A wonderful, and deeply personal, exploration of (what I would call) experimental poetry by Yves Hartleigh. While the themes and tone can get intense, it is a rewarding read that feels like every poem is coming from a place so personal it may as well be reading a secret journal. Though not necessarily for the faint of heart, this is a book absolutely worth the read and price of admission. Looking forward to seeing what comes next for the author!” -Jon O., GoodReads
FEBRUARY BLUES

“I believe if you have experienced tsunami pain in your life and musical moments rooted back to love as a human being on this blue marble you must read this.” -Jazz Marie Kaur (Poet & Founder of Dipity literary magazine, host of Hummingbird Blink podcast on Spotify)
