Description

Joel Longs perceptively imagined poems reside in the permeable membrane of inner and outer, where the worlds events and objects are transformed by interior life. Quietly tender and keenly observed, these poems are thoughtful beauty and grace.Jane Hirshfield
These poems . . . offer openings into new worlds profound familiar, and unexpected.Pattiann Rogers

Reviews

"These are humane and demanding poems. Their craft and power is in their ability to spin the reader around in a narrative darkness only to have a lyric wit and resolve suddenly lit up, revealing beautifully organised spaces of power and emotion. This is persuasive writing: a poetry in which almost every gesture of language is working its passage back into a world of true, powerful feeling" -- Eavan Boland.
