Rude Mechanical

<p>In Jack Warren's debut pamphlet <em>Rude Mechanical</em> the poems sing with the rhythm and cadences of working life. Warren's poetry moves from the factory to the pub 'searching for a moment's weary epiphany' or find him staring at the stars in 'the serenity of a cigarette break'. In <em>Rude Mechanical</em> Warren looks to the role of art literature and labour in our lives the value of the natural world and in an extended sequence on a long-distance relationship he writes lyrically of falling and remaining in love. </p><p><br></p>
