“Little things get me all the time. A cute baby, a kitten, a kind gesture. Almost anything can make me tear up. It wasn’t until reading Joey’s poems that I realized this quality is indeed not a weakness.”

“This book has become my best travel companion. I take it everywhere. Especially on days I’m feeling a little off, I just open to a page and read something that reorients me right back to where I need to be. Really beautiful words full of heart and soul. They’re like little soul vitamins throughout the day.”

“Joey has a way of writing that made me even more awestruck by mother earth. I couldn’t help but wonder about his sense of stillness. It seems as if he can go into nature and sense every single minuscule particle in nature that we can’t see with our bare eyes. and then write magically about it.”

“His words are really heart-warming. A bad day and all I look for is his poems. They really pull me up.”

“This poet writes about growth and love, every poem brimming with positivity.”

“His book sits on my work desk and I read it when I need inspiration or simply when I need to relax and remind myself to breathe.”
