Kate Johnson's gift
is
to make the inner life
so
clear and concrete
as
to.fix a selfto the page. She confronts suffering without erasing the
possibility oj love,
or
denying the presence ojjoy. Distilled and
direct. plain and mysterious at once, these poems involve
us
in
moments in the work oj soul-making.
-Mark Doty
Oh, where have we been exiledfrom-ourjamilies?Ourselves?
The
source oj
our
spirit? Kate Johnson's voice calls out from the
wildemess ojright here-the wounded selfsurviving, human, ever
asking to be healed.
This
poetry
is
both prayer and the grace
it
prays jor: clear, rigorous, and infused with a love oj this world
where "we can't even see what it
is
we see by."
-Marie Howe

gence write his heartbreaking, witty and complex poems jor him
Some
oj his poems are jairly d!ffi.cult-but theirs
is
an earned
d!ffi.culty,
bom
oj the complexity ojhis thought, ojhis experience,
ojthe world
as
he parses it and understands it.
His

surprising and
so
interesting, while constantly
remaining loyal to the lackluster day-to-day actuality ojthis world_
