If you like banging your head against the wall, shifting your definitions of love and art, setting your yearning to music, or going a little bonkers, then Halberd Books is for you.

The longest, most ambitious poetry volume from David M. Briggs yet, Halberd Books vol. 3 presents one hundred never-before-compiled poems about breaking down daily, suffering desperate infatuation, clawing out a home, facing down injustice, scratching down stories, and finding safety in spite of it all. Profane, humane, and slightly deranged, Halberd Books vol. 3 is an impassioned howl of a book.
