Synopsis
"The excitement of prose poetry is that it transgresses the rules to catch a glimpse of what could be called the true life of the imagination."?Charles Simic
"Johnson's clear-eyed explication of our sad, bruised, fallen world becomes a celebration, an elation. Johnson shouts, 'Hallelujah!' in one of his poems. Read Rants and Raves and you'll be shouting it too."?Gary Young
Rants and Raves draws from three previously published volumes and includes a selection of new poetry by this master of the prose poem.
Peter Johnson has published three books of prose poems and three books of fiction. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island.
