To Keep Time

To Keep Time

Joseph Masseyâ€™s third collection, To Keep Time, limns the microclimate of coastal Humboldt County, California. These poems live where modern lifeâ€”radio static, a space heater, trafficâ€”collides with the so-called natural world. With spare, vivid imagery, Massey builds brilliantly on concerns familiar to readers of his earlier works. Here â€œThe near-silence / rattles me // to attention;â€ here the vagaries of language itselfâ€”whatâ€™s been left out as much as whatâ€™s been written inâ€”penetrate the heart of these stealthy, aching poems. To Keep Time stops the worldâ€™s chatter for a moment and listens to its loneliness and longing, and hears the grace in the relentlessness of days.
