welcome!

Hi! My name is Harley Claes. I have written and published 7 books to date; Pity The Poetics, Love Inertia, Venus Captives: A Sapphic in Hiding, The House of Wonders, Hedonists Heaven, Junk Poems and EX-CUSES, CONSCIOUS AFFIRMATIONS and THE END OF THE WORLD. My style is oftentimes anachronistic, surreal, philosophical, and holy erotic. My work has been published 60+ times in literary magazines such as Pink Plastic House, Alien Buddha Press, FLAPPERHOUSE, Seven Story Hotel, Horror Sleaze Trash, Expat Press, and Delude Magazine and more. Alongside being the founder and curator of Angelical Ravings Press, I run a small business by the same name "Angelical Ravings" where I sell anything from dried flower terrariums to clothing and chokers. My origins began as a visual artist and my paintings have been in numerous galleries. Later experimenting with music, four imprompu multi-genre albums were born by my hand, "Illusion Grief" , "Seducing Dionysus" "The Art of Breaking Your Own Heart" and "The Etheric" as well as an EP titled "Love like A Fever" You can find my music on Spotify and Soundcloud.
