Description

Joseph Minden's debut collection Poppy explores the complex relationship between memory and history, delving into themes of suppression, nostalgia, and empire. The poems in this collection are woven from fragments of personal experience, historical research, and documentary evidence.

Mindens' use of language creates a haunting and memorable music, drawing on a range of forms and styles to convey the complexities of long-held ideas and historical narratives. Through his work, he sheds light on the darker aspects of British history, revealing the ways in which memory can be both a source of comfort and a site of trauma.

With its unique blend of personal testimony, documentary evidence, and poetic expression, Poppy is a thought-provoking and deeply unsettling collection that challenges readers to confront the complexities of their own memories and histories.
