We approached this collection with the idea of a space or place, something more than just a page – and all of the potentials that these things could offer. Through our conversations we stumbled upon the fact that we both have ongoing associations to mechanics and it is often something we use as a metaphor when thinking. Mechanics became the subject; the garage, the vehicles and the journeys. It’s about maintenance and repair was the refrain featured throughout a text we drafted together in order to drum out the themes and reveal the liminal spaces where the words or language could exist.
The subject area is a place where writing is uncommon: an unlikely coupling of form and substance perhaps, just as the collection’s title suggests. Sleeper is the name given to a car with an ordinary and unassuming exterior, but with a high performance engine. Something extraordinary concealed within something we see daily as very ordinary.

We offer a limited number of all of our books for free for those who might not have the means to pay for one right now because let’s face it, books are expensive. If you feel like this is you then please just pop us a little email with the title you are after and we’ll see what we can do to help! At the moment, as we’re a small press numbers are a little limited but we hope it won’t always be like this!
