POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATIONJack Underwood' s poetry debut, Happiness (2015), was celebrated for its unconventional and daring tone: ' conversational, arresting . . . weird, singular' (Guardian). Such qualities are on accomplished display in this anticipated new collection, as the poems mature and move on to a wide range of preoccupations, including imminent societal collapse and public unrest; the limits, myths and complexities of masculinity and fatherhood; and uncanny, often amusing scenarios, such as serving drinks to a gathering of fifteen babies or group kissing in Empathy Class. Throughout, incongruous and domestic subjects realign in skewed lyrics and thought experiments, intimately expressed in ' a new language / of the familiar' (' The Landing' ). All is presented with a generosity and tenderness that makes the poet so unmistakable - and indispensable for the strange times in which we live.
Jack Underwood' s debut collection of poems, Happiness (Faber, 2015), won the Somerset Maugham Award. He is a senior lecturer in English and Creative Writing at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His non-fiction book Not Even This, about parenthood, uncertainty, and poetic language and knowledge, will be published by Corsair in 2021.
