These poems are knives, all terrible sharpness and finely polished, and each of their lines, their white spaces, are razor blades, new and exact. Picking favorites from this collection is difficult, a bit like sorting sugar from salt without the benefit of using one's tongue, but for me the standouts include "Visitation," "Flight," and "After Words."

Like an album of photographic negatives, this book is transformed by light, inhabited by family, illness, mortality, and faith. Daniel Johnson hammers plain speech into exquisite song that is celebratory, mysterious, and elegiac. This transfixing collection resounds with what's left unsaid. No library descriptions found. |
