Description
Ralf Webb's Rotten Days in Late Summer is a powerful collection of poetry that explores the complexities of class, youth, adulthood and death in the working communities of the West Country. Through individual poems and three sequences - 'Love Stories', 'Diagnostics' and 'Treetops' - Webb examines the textures of human experience, from the dreams and lies of multiple relationships to the struggles with grief and mental health. The world of these poems is one of close, dangerous, lustrous and difficult realities. With its unflinching honesty and razor-sharp language, Rotten Days in Late Summer offers a rare and important voice in British poetry.
