Saturday book feature — Soundtrack by Alex Stolis

What we once thought we had we didn’t

“We call upon the Author”, Nick Cave

Go ahead, try & remember him/her
time/place, sights/scents.

Listen to the hum of an amp, the first
popclick when needle hits groove,

the sounds of ghosts taking form, ready
to become reimagined.

Memories are kaleidoscopic, shambolic;
music never lies.

by Alex Stolis from Soundtrack (Whittle Micro-Press 2025)
