Clutter Jar - Paperback

Christopher Horton's Clutter Jar is a taut, emotionally charged debut that explores masculinity, violence, memory, and technology with formal clarity and restrained lyricism. These poems move between fractured domestic interiors and shifting landscapes, often returning to fatherhood, the erosion of time, and upheaval with a searching, unresolved gaze. Horton's language is spare but deliberate, allowing quiet images to resonate with unease or tenderness. The collection is shaped by what is withheld as much as what is said, attentive to the clutter left behind by silence, collective experience, and the weight of unspoken histories.
