Produktbeschreibung
Martin Hayes' A Few More Sunrises Yet Before It Ends gathers together decades of sharp, unsparing poetry that documents the underpaid, overworked lives of Britain's contemporary working class. Hayes' verse moves through courier control rooms, dead-end shifts, bureaucratic absurdities, and private struggles, tracing how capitalism's grinding pressures shape not just labour but identity, relationships, and the very sense of self. With biting humour, documentary precision, and a refusal of sentimentality, the collection offers a sustained reckoning with work, class, precarity, and survival in the twenty-first century. This is a voice that matters, and these are poems that demand to be reckoned with.
Autorenporträt
Martin Hayes was born in London and has lived in the Edgware Road/Church Street area of it all his life. He was schooled at Barrow Hill Primary School in St John's Wood then went on to attend Quinton Kynaston Comprehensive in Swiss Cottage where nothing went quite as right as it should've and so was asked to leave at 15. He is married to a lady called Victoria who, miraculously, has remained married to him for over 35 years. Poetry is his only act of laying out his unrest.
