Dragons - Poems

The seventh book of poems from Devin Johnston, a poet who can "change the way you breathe" (Maureen N. McLane).

Dragons is a collection of sonorous, sensual poems from Devin Johnston, -one of the finest craftsmen of verse we have- (Michael Autrey, Booklist). 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.-
