Synopsis
A collection of mostly narrative poems exploring the power of memory and dreams in our experiences as contemporary Americans. The length is 134 pages. This book is divided into 5 sections plus a Coda: the first concerns itself with memories; the second regards ideas and observations; the third is about relationships; the forth describes the poet's experiences working in a homeless shelter, then child protective services, and adult protective services; the fifth contains poems of the writer's interaction with nature; the Coda contains one concluding poem. Of this collection, poet Raymond Philip Asaph wrote: "A poet of simple pleasures, corn muffins, hikes in the woods, listening deeply to music, be it classical or Pink Floyd, Johnson displays a seemingly innate capacity to consider the most complex or mundane subjects, sometimes with equal measure." And former Suffolk County, NY Poet Laureate George Wallace wrote: "There is something of Yeats in the poetry of Bruce Johnson, a straightforward man committed to a fundamental annunciation of authenticity, in the fraught moments of existence. This is a voice that resonates sharp as a hammer's blow outdoors in cool November. Johnson's concerns are keen and sober--matters of family loyalties, of shelter dwellers who have fallen away from America, of seekers of the primitive wilderness, trekking long trails in search of the 'fierce beauty of storm clouds through treetops.' Seekers who yet understand that there are conditions when 'to remain on the mountain, shelterless in the wind, is unthinkable,' and who would willingly trade the carnal for a moment's peace. It is an uneasy peace, to be sure, disturbed by stampeding Black Friday shoppers, by victims of an overmedicated and overindulged consumer society. Despite the odds, Bruce Johnson stays true to his vision."

    Book arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.

    Seller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.

    The first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
