A Year in the Woods and A Year in the Clouds: A collection of poems

By Joshua B. Massey

A Year in the Woods and a Year in the Clouds is the first collection of poetry by Joshua B. Massey, a North Carolina native, an avid international denizen, and a voracious reader and writer of poetry and prose. The poetry in this collection documents, commemorates, and recollects instances of joy, humor, intrigue, pain, sorrow, and grief, with the aim of expressing a complicated and multi-dimensional portrait of the poet and the world of words and images surrounding him. Massey's love of nature, literature, culture, the city, and a collection of everyday objects, sensations, and ideas are all evoked here, presented in sometimes unconventional and playful poetic form. Each poem can be heard as well as read, as the poet's voice rings clear through the printed word, evoking an intimate sense of familiarity with the both the poem's subjects and speakers. A Year in the Woods and a Year in the Clouds stands as a testament to the beauty of everyday life, asking the reader to consider the world around them for just a moment, so they might see and feel and think differently about the even the most seemingly insignificant things in it.
