<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>
