Back in print in this new, revised edition featuring pieces that did not appear in the original, Joseph Massey's Illocality is a revelation of season and setting. In an ironic turn against the collection's title, his poems are all about place, all about the immediacy of the moment. His poems focus on details as small as, A diseased shrub // [absorbing] / the leftover glow to bring us a rendering of the beautiful chaos around us which reflects a chaos within. His work has been called a poetry of the environment, and indeed, while December / reverberates with decay, in the end the speaker lives life condensed. . . to forsythia's / rhythm.
