My new book Decades: Selected Poems

Available now!

Friends, I am writing to let you know that my new book Decades: Selected Poems is available now for purchase. The book includes the best poems from my seven full-length books of poetry (several of which are out of print) and includes a new, long poem titled “Prologue.”

At 250 pages, this book is a brick, and a testament to a life in poetry.

I hope you’ll buy a copy!

Order the book here.

Thank you for your support. I’m publishing the book under my own imprint and far outside of the mainstream literary world. Help me spread the word.

Today I’ll appear on The Megyn Kelly Show to promote Decades. The show airs live on SiriusXM’s Triumph channel at 12 ET, and all platforms after.

"Joseph Massey's poems do what poetry is called to do: they make us see with new eyes. Like the writers of classic haiku, Massey's currency is the detail of the world around him, and he employs both an enviable diction and acute observation in these poems. But his work also takes on enormous psychological and spiritual depth. Devoid of ego, concerned only with finding truth in neglected sights and spaces, this book is an antidote to the noise and confusion of the world, and the artifice of so much else that is written. A deeply rewarding, and ultimately moving, read."
