## Description

From Publishers Weekly
        	
        	
        		
        		
	        		
						
			        		After glancing at the table of contents of this debut collection (organized into four small sections called Packing Up; Road; Who Else Stayed Here; and Trying To Be Home), a reader could well anticipate a tightly knit travel journal, little suspecting that this journey is to &quot;the loneliest town in America.&quot; Writer and reader are entwined in a tense, claustrophobic solitude. Images of death, suicide and blood abound; Johnson writes that &quot;torture is as inventive as we get.&quot; In &quot;From a Hospital Bed Downtown,&quot; the speaker is revolted by the other patients, and by any gesture of love between patients and family. But the work can also demonstrate sensitivity and compassion; anyone who has ever lost a loved one will not fail to marvel at &quot;Postcard: Widow on Her Second Honeymoon.&quot; Other poems display a sloppy surrealism, and the final section contains some decidedly weaker pieces. But given the grim intensity of Johnson&apos;s finest poems, readers might be just as happy for this space to catch their breaths.
