Burning in Babylon Poems
Navigating life as a spiritual exile in Barcelona, Spain-riding metros, eating hamburgers, waking up to the sound of motorcycles and ambulances-Joseph asks himself, "Where do I belong?" No city in this present world, Babylon, will do.
His poetry sings, mourns, investigates, complains, and wonders about life in Babylon, before Babylon, beyond Babylon, and with others in Babylon. In his first poetry volume, Joseph's heart cries out that he belongs to the city to come after Babylon, where the noise, Will sweep us off our feet And carry us in a single chorus Of perfect harmony and rhythm Into the arms of the one who plays The heavens As both the master and masterpiece himself. -from "The Death of Earthly Song"
