Dragons Poems Devin Johnston

<p><b>The seventh book of poems from Devin Johnston, a poet who can "change the way you breathe" (Maureen N. McLane).<br><br></b><i>Dragons </i>is a collection of sonorous, sensual poems from Devin Johnston, “one of the finest craftsmen of verse we have” (Michael Autrey, <i>Booklist</i>). Attentive to both the physical world and our place in it, his arresting images of nature and human life ring with quiet power. An elegy for a ten-year-old hen; a fourth grader seeing a fox, his “fur waistcoat immaculate”; the sound of neighbors arguing set against the “pallid flames” of the setting sun: together, such scenes form a resonant, restrained meditation on life’s journey and “the feeling of time.”</p>
