                             Wet and Dripping

     by Joseph Goosey

 Joseph Goosey elicits both humor and satire couched with an underpinning of vulnerability and poignancy. Such a combination is difficult to handle. A slip either side and you end up either bitter or maudlin. Goosey walks that fine line with a hand so deft, you know it's driven by the soul and not the mind.

 “A razor sharp collection, fractured with tales of wonder and woe. Joseph Goosey takes his quill and muses wistfully about love and life.  Each poem is a delight, conveniently capturing the peril of possessing a restless mind, and an overactive libido. ‘Wet and Dripping’ demands to be soaked up.

                                                       - Richard Wink, Editor Gloom Cupboard

“Joseph Goosey’s poetry is inherently dualistic. Honest yet cagey, both playful and

serious, as a reader I am drawn in by the simplicity of his poesy — there is something lurking beneath the surface, yet what that something is I am at a loss for words to say, let alone understand. There is an intrigue about it that is irresistible. “Wet and Dripping” is a compelling, touching chapbook, sure to keep you enthralled till the very last page.”

            -- Benjamin Biesek, editor Cause and Effect, publisher Poptritus Press

 “When it comes to masturbation, cigarettes and longing Joseph Goosey is my nominee for Poet Laureate."

                                                                                                 — Ben Tanzer

   "Goose's poetry is weird, sad, and genuine. In a certain world, I'd use it to be romantic with girls I'm sweet on."

                                                        —  Matt Digangi, editor Thieves Jargon
