Joseph Massey's Decades: Selected Poems is a career retrospective, assembling the best poems from Massey's seven critically acclaimed collections of poetry, including the previously unpublished long poem, "Prologue."
"Joseph Massey's poems do what poetry is called to do: they make us see with new eyes. Like the writers of classic haiku, Massey's currency is the detail of the world around him, and he employs both an enviable diction and acute observation in these poems. But his work also takes on enormous psychological and spiritual depth. Devoid of ego, concerned only with finding truth in neglected sights and spaces, this book is an antidote to the noise and confusion of the world, and the artifice of so much else that is written. A deeply rewarding, and ultimately moving, read." —Sally Read, editor of 100 Great Catholic Poems
