–GLASS by Joseph Featherstone, poems by a master-craftsman, to be published by Fenway Press in 2019

We are delighted to announce the publication of GLASS, new poems by the Gloucester poet Joseph “Jay” Featherstone. Ranging over a lifetime, from post-war Japan to Wilkes-Barre to Gloucester, the poet speaks as himself–father of a doomed, brain-damaged son, father of wonderful daughters, husband, grandfather, student of Seamus Heaney and Lucie Brock-Broido. He speaks also in the voices of others–a world-class Cambodian chef who returns to the ruins of his childhood home to find his dead mother sitting on his bed, an Irish great-grandmother who remembers the grotesque horrors of the Great Famine and says, “I hate the word: Ireland.” Rich and colloquial, wise and often witty, these are poems by an American master at the top of his game.
