Author Description

"David Joseph’s poems, at various points in my life, have been unforeseen rafts; they carried me through, effortlessly. His poems have been Joshua Trees; arcing in singularity of shape and light towards the firmament. This collection of David’s poems, Sometimes We Can Fall Asleep Below Stars and Already Be Home, is a torch. This torch casts light upon the poet’s early forays into the darkness of the blank page and the accompanying, incandescent longings of a gifted poet, writing to honor the stirrings of his soul. Like William Carlos Williams’ headlights casting over the top of a field of tall grass, David Joseph beckons for our eyes to find the fog, the firefly, the faith - to be at home." - Brian Buckley, Executive Director Southwest Native American Foundation, Teacher, Poet
