Joel Auterson

Unremember Joel Auterson

Unremember is steeped in the landscape of home. Of early memories, and endings that cannot be resolved by a Pokémon Centre. In these poems, mountains, rivers and dirt are set in opposition to London's bright spots as selves of various ages gather on the page.

Joel Auterson unpicks nostalgia and loneliness, illness and modern masculinity with the delicate hand of a heart surgeon. David Bowie sings out from a lighthouse as men cry in posh coffee shops. Beautifully sensitive poems alternate with Auterson's show-stopping 'clunks' in a book that will stay in your head long after the reading is done.
