Synopsis

Shirley Johnson's poetry captures essential pieces of the journeys, experiences, and relationships that carry us through the years of our lives. She writes about universal themes of family, friendship, aging, and trying to make sense of it all using vivid images and rich descriptions of people, places, and things -- all undergirded by an unexpected blend of wry humor and unaffected tenderness. Her lines never tell us what to think or how to fee. Rather, they evoke deeper levels of thinking and feeling that are likely to stay long after a first reading of her little book. Indeed, her words may call us back again and again to reconsider, to rethink, and to refeel the twists and turns of our own changing roads.

About the Author

Shirley M. C. Johnson, born in rural Wisconsin, embodies her Midwestern love of nature (and more recently, of native plants), common sense, and irreverent sense of humor. She returned to poetry to help herself and others embrace the unremitting surprises and ironies of life. She earned a Ph.D. in English and now resides on the Connecticut shore as a gardening retiree.
