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

DESCRIPTION - Spare, vivid lyrics on the microclimate of coastal California Joseph Massey's third collection, To Keep Time, limns the microclimate of coastal Humboldt County, California. These poems live where modern life - radio static, a space heater, traffic - collides with the so-called natural world. With spare, vivid imagery, Massey builds brilliantly on concerns familiar to readers of his earlier works. Here 'The near-silence / rattles me // to attention;' here the vagaries of language itself - what's been left out as much as what's been written in - penetrate the heart of these stealthy, aching poems. To Keep Time stops the world's chatter for a moment and listens to its loneliness and longing, and hears the grace in the relentlessness of days. 'Massey's images are so clear, so lucid, so adamantly, palpably there, that you begin to wonder if this young man isn't, in fact, a walking 3D camera. But the wonder of it is, it isn't merely the images that so astonish: he's got what I call the 'Niedecker knack,' the capacity to bring sharp linguistic play to an Eclat of exquisite clarity, precision to a blossoming of speech, transcendence to a piece of string.'
