Distracted By The Otherworldly

Anthony Mason’s Distracted by the otherworldly is an urban landscape of poems that, with themes of loneliness, beauty, suffering and loyalty, petitions the reader to “spend an entire afternoon looking at the sky”. (“Rose Noir”) Mason embraces every emotion that life softly (or perhaps not so) hands to everyone. Mason is an observer of people, places, meditating the reason and cause behind every gesture, every feeling, He is a complex poet, whose writing asks for more than feeling, but perhaps, movement as well. Distracted by the otherworldly is a book to get comfortable with, to explore, examine, and implore your own soul. He never rushes his words, but examines each line with much care.
