Sleeve of Hearts is an anthology presented by Weird Wide Web, which showcases the work of 52 poets, each offering readers a piece of their hearts in these pages. This eclectic assortment of poetry has been called both "a hurricane of emotion" and "a chasm of the soul", and it does not hold back on exposing the raw emotion of the tortured poet within us all, painting an honest, and sometimes brutal picture of what it means to be human.

"Spend time with the poems in this book, as I did. Let the savage imagery sink through your skin, grip your mind, seize your heart, stop your breath. The poetic voices in Sleeve of Hearts conjure up emotions common to us all—heartache, foreboding, resignation, outrage, grief, despair. Yet we so often endure these feelings in devastating solitude. If you’ve ever cried out into the dark, believing that nobody hears and nobody cares, the poems in this volume will remind you that you’re not alone. Spend time with the voices in this book, as I did, and hopefully you will glimpse the slivers where the light penetrates. The brilliant glow of those cracks in the darkness radiates the resounding message of Sleeve of Hearts. Hope."
-Jacque Day, founding co-editor, Carnage House
“Sleeve of Hearts is an absolute hurricane of emotion. Rage, grief, and fear are at the forefront of what is a stellar, fanged collection.”
-Mercedes M. Yardley, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Little Dead Red and “Fracture”
"Profound, powerful, and gut-wrenching. Every word in this collection is a dagger to the heart, and every poem, a window into the chasm of the soul. Truly haunting."
-Pedro Iniguez, author of Mexicans on the Moon: Speculative Poetry from a Possible Future
“Sleeve of Hearts is a poetry anthology that beats with raw emotion and resonates with universal truths. Featuring a diverse collection of voices, each poem explores the complexities of love, loss, identity, and resilience. From the quiet strength of personal reflection to the unyielding force of collective experience, these verses will leave a mark on the readers who dare to venture into this world of beautiful vulnerability. Sleeve of Hearts bleeds with visceral tenderness.”
-Angela Yuriko Smith, Two-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award
