Description

Ahren Warner's second collection of poems opens with a raw and passionate tribute to Paris, blending past and present in equal measure. This is followed by a series of vivid and often unsettling portraits of London, alongside fragments of philosophy and music. The poems that make up the core of Pretty are more experimental and visceral than Warner's previous work, drawing on influences from Baudelaire and Artaud to create a sense of dislocation and unease. The collection builds towards a powerful and unsettling conclusion in Nervometer, which brings together fragments of translation, performance, and collage. This is a challenging and thought-provoking poetry collection that explores the darker aspects of human experience.
