In The Play of Light, Masson demonstrates a manner, a way of observing that lifts the ordinary into the rare. This collection of essays itself is no ordinary gift but a rare one.
Pattiann Rogers, author of Firekeeper: Selected Poems I actually reread this book, searching for what made it so powerful. It might be the connections I find between his questions and life and my life. But that does not explain why the prologue moved me to tears, when the entire chapter is explicitly a situation entirely alien to me. Masson has provided the world with a wonderful book. Frankly, I would recommend it to anyone. Age range is immaterial. The reading level is relatively easy, the writing incredibly descriptive and lyrical, and the sentiment; classless. However, this is a reflective memoir, a book that inspires self reflection and emotion. Expect tears and change.
