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 Curio Shop Collages. My writing 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, 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. I'm also a multi-genre vocalist who mostly dabbles in alternative, shoegaze, and soul. You can find my music on Spotify, Youtube, itunes, Soundcloud, and other streaming platforms such as pandora.
