Description
"This is a stunning collection. Johnson's poems call forth the best of human sensibility to evoke the limits of what humans can really know; they remind us of how small we are and of the brevity of our existence given the vastness of history above and below us. The collection holds layers of immense phenomena in balance, and it does so with grace." -- Leslie Ullman, author of Unruly Tree: Poems
