 | | this is my song tanka prose about letting go and letting be by Joy Mccall, M. Kei Paperback, 180 Pages, Published 2019 by Independently Published ISBN-13: 978-1-07-351310-9, ISBN: 1-07-351310-6 "Joy McCall has the peculiar effect on people that, living or dead, they decide to speak to her. Whether a tattooed woman sitting down to write tanka with her at a cafe table, a blind man asking her to describe the night sky, or a ghost drifting up out of the earth to compliment her for the music, or the crooks (offenders and ex-offenders) who build, fix, and carry for her, she is as likely to be found having a conversation with a rabbi ..." |
 | | hedgerows tanka pentaptychs by Joy Mccall, M. Kei Paperback, 120 Pages, Published 2014 by Keibooks ISBN-13: 978-0-692-20098-8, ISBN: 0-692-20098-3 "Joy McCall takes a keen interest in everything from her children to the local crooks and drunks, artisans, madwomen, and ghosts. The supernatural is as real to her as the material world and the dead populate her poems along with the living. The fleshless rabbi walking his haunted corridor reminds her that Norwich was the origin of the Blood Libel against the Jews, while not far away the witches still dance among the standing stones. Old ..." |
 | | Touching the Now (Paperback) by Don Wentworth, Joy McCall 78 Pages, Published 2018 by Independently Published ISBN-13: 978-1-72949-409-7, ISBN: 1-72949-409-9 "The dance, as it was done, might just as soon have been called 'a game of contraries' as 'touching the now' because these poems were composed counter each poet's individual strength." |

The result is Side by Side, an intimate look inside friendship of two master poets who commiserate with each other over the debilities of age, and who inspire one another with humor, wit and a keen appreciation for the perishable beauty of the wo ..." |

By now regular readers of McCall’s work are familiar with the wood henges and misty fields of her Norwich home, but here are still mysteries unexplored, with the greatest mystery of them all creeping ever closer. The door to the other world has opened and she is lingering on its threshold, a witch between the worlds. She sings our sorrows and our joys. Nothing escapes her notice, ..." |

 | | things of the edges by Joy Mccall Paperback, 58 Pages, Published 2017 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform ISBN-13: 978-1-5442-3534-9, ISBN: 1-5442-3534-8 "'things of the edges' takes the reader back to the beginning of Joy McCall’s journey with tanka. I paused there, initially writing *through*, but decided that as much as these are poems that transport the reader as well as their writer, I believe they are more than that. Tanka has been an almost lifelong friend to Joy; a companion on this path whose beginning and end are lost to mist. Those of us familiar with her extraordinary collecti ..." |

Roaming freely in her wheelchair, occasionally stymied but never stopped, she holds endless converse with the wandering souls she meets on cobbled streets and quiet rivers. Previous collections have mapped the territory of her heart, but in ‘fieldgates,’ her latest collection, she places signposts and opens g ..." |

Small people, small animals, small dreams, small treasures, and most poignant of all, the small pleasures of being alive to the beauty of the ordinary and the preciousness of the common. To some one else, a violet is just a weed creeping among trodden stone ..." |
