Description
Poetry. "Observant, musical, coheres to nature; it's been a pleasure to read Jospeh Massey for some years now. A poetry pared down to the essential inside the world where language interacts with itself and becomes the landscape it emerges from. Musically tipped-in to a vigilant consciousness. Cool clear eye and careful ear make for distilled moments of the real. Making a whole from fragments: keeping the now always new."—Tom Pickard
