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.
