Nice work. A very thought-provoking poem; a search for meaning and connection in a complex world.

I love this poem. And love that you’ll have a Selected. About time. Can’t wait to own it.

There’s hope for us yet! That you would be given this level of exposure reflects ‘times, they are’a changin’. Congratulations Joseph.

Lord, keep me

tethered

to meaning:

Your silence

where ALL things

are holy.

I love this. I lived in Vancouver for a better part of a decade. Forsythia was always that flare that spring just started. Your writing is giving me such feeling right now.

Thank you!

Reading this is like listening to a John Prine song for me. Thanks JM.

Wonderful! I'm really looking forward to this book as I know I've missed some of your earlier work. I hope this isn't an April fool's joke... 😉
