In an earlier incarnation, Hayden Veil enjoyed a successful career in software engineering, writing late-night poetry in pursuit of sanity. On 2 February 2020, the world of Hayden Veil changed: Ghosts became real and with its soul laid bare there was no turning back from the perpetual path of poetry.
Infinite was a good watch. Not sure if it’s because of the last two weeks of dissecting The Duchess of Malfi or the pressed grapes of southern France, but definitely worthy of a Saturday night leisure time stretch on the sofa…
I’ve tried, for two weeks, to convince the little fella/fellee(?) to leave my kitchen and lounge: opening windows and porch doors, to no avail. I reckon I should just propose, that’ll sort the issue in no time …

Imbalance is a modern poetry collection for the seated generation. Poems to help deal with sitting down, being seated, and the frequently failed attempts of getting back up again. Select remedies are serendipitously scattered throughout. Crayons are optional.
Massive thanks to @behind-the-veil-of-sanity for this! I can’t say much yet as I haven’t had a chance to read too far, but I can say it’s not just a poetry book. It’s a work of art. It’s a reminder of why a real book is, to me, superior to an ebook – as is sort of mentioned in the preface. And, on a personal note, when I first saw the cover it made me smile as I’ve been dying to get back out into nature (and I’m working on it).
So yes, I just had to post about this because I’m genuinely excited to read it 🖤 and I really think other people will be too. October 23rd I believe – get it bought!!
I’m just very happy to have friends who don’t mind being exposed to my experimental outlet. The word is just one aspect of I want to explore. Writing for the page is different to writing for other media. The page, as a three dimensional object also enables me to express ideas I couldn’t otherwise.
My new poetry collection will go on sale on October 23, 2021. There’s plenty of pages, lots of words, and various symbols to get your head around. Crayons are optional.
