Summary

"Joseph Massey composed Illocality in his first year in Western Massachusetts. His austere landscapes channel the quiet shock, euphoria, and introspection that come with reorientation to place. Massey's 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."--Publisher's website (viewed 2015-10-08).
