Reviews
It is in their timelessness that Josephy's glimpses-scorci-through the arrow slits of lives under siege are given their timeliness. The narrative of these exquisitely crafted poems, with their echoes of sonnets and madrigals, is both meditative and outraged; poems that exist of themselves and yet cohere. At its heart, however, Again Behold the Stars is an anthem of hope and endurance, is a celebration of the complexity and strength of community and womanhood in hard times. -Claire Dyer
