Book details
Summary
Description
The poems, spanning three decades, come from Johnson's insights gained from careful attention to ordinary moments in daily life. Activities as diverse as snorkeling in the Caribbean, employing a pest control company, following news reports of a brutal local murder, revisiting her grandparents' home decades after their death, her inability to minister to a man whose leg was alive with maggots, & receiving a mediocre massage prompt Johnson's poetry. Unusually sensitive insights about being a wife, mother & daughter form one dominant theme. The journey from her life in the midwest to a new life in Texas, which led her into the Unitarian Universalist ministry, affirms the human capacity to create a life of meaning, each person a pioneer. The title poem, A THEOPHANY, PLEASE, reveals her yearning to connect her daily life to a VISUAL MANIFESTATION OF THE DEITY. The full-page color photographs mostly from Maine & Wisconsin, make this book a visual delight. Order from Cynthia B. Johnson, Publisher, 424 NW 40th St., Oklahoma City, OK 73118. $16.00 per copy plus shipping & handling.
