Opening Line is a poetry anthology built on the principle that access to the arts should not be a privilege. Published by Broken Sleep Books, a working-class indie press, this collection dismantles economic barriers that too often limit audiences from engaging with contemporary poetry. Bringing together an impressive range of voices-including established and emerging poets-this anthology is a testament to the power of affordability in reshaping literary landscapes. By prioritizing inclusivity over exclusivity, Opening Line challenges the notion that poetry must be expensive to be valuable, making space for a wider, more diverse readership.
