<p>Aled Turner's <em>Earsplitting</em> is a visceral unflinching collection that dissects the jagged intersections of memory violence and disquiet with a poet's scalpel. The language is sharp-edged rhythmic and unsentimental moving through psychological and physical landscapes of raw intensity. Turner's work lingers in the body-whether through the grit of intimacy the weight of familial fractures or the ghosts of past decisions. At once lyrical and brutal this collection resists easy categorisation offering instead a precise and unsparing examination of the fractures that shape human experience.</p>
