Synopsis

Joe Donald Johnson is a poet, composer, and occasional artist. His poetry collection, Warp oems, is a small volume with war as its general subject. Most of these poems are unchanged from a 1974 edition of this work, written during the Vietnam conflict. That war produced a disturbing fissure in the American population. Johnson observed these struggles of ill will, of warlike and peacelike, in the society around him. The final 18 pages are new and show the dates of their creation. They are not focused on a particular conflict, but rather on conflict in various and ghastly aspects. Caring and hope crawl through portions of the entire work.

About this title

About the Author

Joe Donald Johnson is a former outdoorsman who has long gathered inspiration from natural environs and a kind of mysticism he has sensed therein, for his creative pursuits. Another inspiration for him has been humanity, in all its convoluted natures. In addition to writing poems, Johnson composes music, most of which orients itself to humanity and nature. He’s an oldtimer, says the years of now are newtimes, confesses to not quite keeping up, tells us to go ahead, he’ll be along if he can. Gazing at his shoes, he fesses up that he may have to sit down. He wishes us well.
