From the beginning of The Unequivocality of a Rose ..".a long tale told with a unique poetic language," this work confounds and teaches all in the same moment. Joel Netsky's poetic is firmly grounded in a classic poetic language and yet with a language reaching out into a visionary future. At first it will perplex you and then it will draw you in with a sure recognition from another time and another future. Joel was born in Philadelphia. While at college he studied literature and writing and, in the years following developed a personal poetry writing style based upon a naturalistic rendering of poetic structures. The cover art is from a young, new, visionary artist Patrick Fisher.
