Joel Auterson
Hello! My name's Joel and I'm a software developer. No, not that one.
I run a tiny indie game studio called Bearwaves. I'm also a published poet.
I'm part of the Rare Mammals collective, and am an alumnus of Southbank New Poets and Barbican Young Poets. I work in the games industry.
Hi, welcome to my website.

Transatlantic Sessions, what a treat
Note
When I was 21 and doing poetry gigs several times a week it used to drive me mad when older poets said “keep writing!”. Found it so patronising. Now I am 31 and just wrote my first poem in over a year and I think maybe they were onto something

So I finished Baldur’s Gate 1, and while it’s a fascinating artefact of its time it’s not actually all that enjoyable. Baldur’s Gate 2 is, from a technical standpoint, almost identical, yet an hour in and it absolutely whips? Overjoyed, frankly
