Hester Glock collaborated with Paul H. on a sound project in 2007.
Paul used the name when setting up his first ever website, and the name has stuck with creative things he has subsequently been involved with since.
Sarer and Paul are both artists and poets, amongst other things, and have been running the press since 2012-ish.
They began with an old b & w laser printer, hand-making pamphlets.
Then they started to use print-on-demand services, though not always for every publication.
Hesterglock publish mostly experimental poetry, visual poetry, Poem Bruti-ish work as well as other artistic projects.
Hesterglock acknowledges the simple fact that we learn through mistakes.
Hesterglock continue to make mistakes.
Long may that continue.
Hesterglock gratefully acknowledge individuals who have supported their work over the past 13 years or so, whether that be buying a book, attending an event, or supporting us through their deeds and/or actions.
Thank you
Paul & Sarer

‘politicised, faltering, broken & rebuilt many times over . . .’
- Paul Hawkins & Steve Ryan
The work was made during, or to perform at DIISONANCE, an exhibition of artworks by Steve Ryan & Paul Hawkins in June 2017 at Bank Street Arts, Sheffield. diisonance is a collaboration, part of a jigsaw, the genesis of which is shared experiences; Steve & Paul met in the early 90’s squatting in Claremont Road, east London at the height of anti-road protests, poll-tax riots & dissent. They’ve tried to piece together the past from the future, making sense of the ghosts that stay with them & the shared feelings of confusion & love for their entwined topics; politicised, faltering, broken & rebuilt many times over.
Sections from the DIISONANCE anthology are included in the Hesterglock Press 2nd edition of Place Waste Dissent
DIISONANCE began as a response to Place Waste Dissent (Influx Press 2015 - 2nd edition Hesterglock Press, 2020) by Paul Hawkins/Steve Ryan
