Displacement

In this collection of poetry, J.E. Mori touches on an array of subjects – love, marriage, solitude, spirituality, virtue, and other phenomena, such as: time, peace, disability, affect of entertainment, and the art of question. Displacement comes at the reader in terms of relative position, a progressive take on life; however, the direction isn’t clearly defined. Drawing inspiration from the world around him, Mori examines how often it’s likely that our paths will not be superlative, or the most efficient for getting to our final position. From such poetic forebears as Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, and twentieth century poet Pablo Neruda, Joshua’s expression captures the essence of life’s journey
