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

There’s a Place Waste Dissent / DIISONANCE archival website here
Having spent three years in the early 1990s occupying properties and protesting in Claremont Road, east London, in Place Waste Dissent poet Paul Hawkins maps the run-off, rackets and resistance along the route of the proposed M11 Link Road, and then spawned the DIISONANCE collaborations, exhibitions, performances & anthology with artist Steve Ryan.
Using the voices of Dolly Watson, Old Mick and many others in avant-garde experimental text and lo-fi collage, he explores place, waste and dissent; the stake the Thatcher/Major Tory government was driving into the heart of the UK.
From Claremont Road to Cameron via surveillance culture and Occupy: transient-beta memory traces re-surfacing along the A12. This collection is an important reflection on a historic site of resistance, offering us illumination, ideas and inspiration for the future.
