Aled Turner's Earsplitting 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.
