Illocality by Joseph Massey (Wave Books, paperback)
Publication Date: September 1, 2015
Publisher Marketing: Poetry. Joseph Massey composed ILLOCALITY in his first year in Western Massachusetts. Massey's austere landscapes channel the quiet shock, euphoria, and introspection that come with reorientation to place. His language fights apathy with grace and sensitivity. Here are poems with their eyes on seasons, plants, sunlight, and animals, all the while looking for stability and the language to describe it.
