Official synopsis Publisher
“Daniel Johnson’s collection reads like a contemporary creation myth—fanciful and funny and full of strong imagery, poignant surprises, narratives that lodge in the mind at the same time that they zoom us into unexpected, unpredicted places. These poems feel at once deeply introspective and completely at home in the public sphere, shaping and reshaping the sensibility of our times, introducing us to a new poetry, a voice for which we’ve been waiting without knowing it. This is a memorable collection by an important new poet.” —
