Broken Sleep Books
31 March 2026

Poetry; Places & peoples: pictorial works

MOUNTEBANK is a book of bells and bodies, of vows made in a kitchen and broken in public, of love that keeps asking for water and coffee and proof. Tom Snarsky writes with a bright, restless intelligence that can turn from saints to spreadsheet cells, from roadkill to set theory, from the hush of a pond to the blunt pressure of debt and modern work. These poems are funny in the way survival gets funny, and tender in the way tenderness sometimes arrives as a warning.

Across five parts,

MOUNTEBANK moves through fractured lyric, devotional shards, and a suite of sharp, human translations, all threaded with animals, weather, faith, tech, and the daily negotiations of partnership. It is a collection that listens hard to the world's static and still finds music there, even when the music stings
