I was interviewed by Amanda Earl for The Small Machine Talks podcast. Take a listen here https://on.soundcloud.com/Azb19SdmMcyeiNfZ9

"Hesterglock Press is probably one of the most far reaching, border blurring small presses I’ve encountered. From photos to music to visual poetry, low-fi collage, textiles and hand drawn art to dub poetry, sound poetry, humour with mathematics and the tesseract, literary psychedelic realism, there’s such a vast expanse of work being published. Hesterglock Press disrupts mainstream publishing irreverently, and joyously. I think the publisher must be a multi-eyed, tentacled creature with a high functioning alien brain and the ability to do many brilliant things at the same time. That’s the only explanation for this whimsical assemblage of far out and groovy works." Amanda Earl
