The poems here range from 1731 abstract musings (or amusements) on relationships to ironic 1732 assaults on the hypocrisies that run through the current political 1733 landscape. Throughout, Johnson uses the fungibility of language to 1734 say at least two things at every opportunity, one of them literal 1735 and the other ironic or whimsical. There is an aspect of jesterism 1736 or merry prankster in each poem, though at the center of the book 1737 is an optimism that our "better natures" still reside in us 1738 somewhere and that eventually, perhaps through the application of 1739 poetry and intelligence, they will rise to the surface, if only 1740 just in time. A solid book recommended.</p> 1741 <p align="left">.</p> 1742 <h5 align="left"><br /> 1743 By <strong>Judith Jenya</strong> </h5> 1744 <p>To read <em>Organ Harvest with Entrance of Clones,</em> the 13th 1745 book of poetry by San Miguel poet Halvard Johnson, is to have the 1746 experience of arriving at thought and words through feelings and 1747 images at once bizarre and astute. The title poem probes our 1748 contemporary life and mortality in idiosyncratic and elegant 1749 language. Johnsonâs poems are highly crafted, obscure, political, 1750 and serious, with irony and humor that let the clarity and 1751 insights in the poems take the reader to unexpected places. His 1752 dour Swedish roots commingle with a somewhat riotous, rather 1753 surrealistic take on life, people and contemporary events in this 1754 very intelligent and original look at the human condition today. 1755 </p> 1756 <p>Johnson grew up in the Hudson Valley and NYC and has gathered 1757 his images, thoughts and experiences in world travel and while 1758 living and teaching in Europe, Asia, and the US. He has received 1759 grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Maryland 1760 State Arts Council and Baltimore City Arts. He is the poetry 1761 editor of the online literary review <em>Hamilton Stone Review</em> 1762 and has written for numerous national journals and magazines. He 1763 has collaborated with James Cervantes, another San Miguel poet, on 1764 a collection of poems written online over a period of several 1765 weeks a few years ago. He is collaborating with his wife, 1766 prize-winning writer and visual artist, Lynda Schor on a new work 1767 of fiction. </p> 1768 <p>Many of Johnsonâs poetry collections are available online. His 1769 first four collections can be found at <a href="http://capa.conncoll.edu/"� 1770 target="_blank"><u>http://capa.conncoll.edu/</u></a>.

Many harvest various texts, 1790 dialects & discourses, all to undermine expectations. Sharply 1791 etched, & often beautifully illustrating the vagaries of the 1792 'I', these poems exemplify a USAmerican surreality crashing into 1793 the politics of being here, now.

In just about all of the 1860 poems there's something fascinatingâan image, a tone, a total 1861 consciousness (often an achieved calm), an experiment with sound 1862 or phrasing. I found myself re-reading many of the poems, so many 1863 are "locked" and provide complete satisfaction. Itâs also the wide 1864 range of <em>Guide to the Toyko Subway</em> that I greatly 1865 admire, the complete <em>interest</em> Halvard Johnson brings to 1866 so many things, the expansiveness of these poems even while 1867 they're leading us to still moments. I've never seen another poet 1868 acknowledge the nuclear power plant, include it in solid lines, 1869 and then, in the same poem, move beyond it out to the Zen-like 1870 horizon in that unique "bomb and calm" style which is all 1871 Johnson's own. -- Dick Allen </h5> 1872 <p>.</p> 1873 <h5><span class="bold">Praise for Drivers</span> and an Interview 1874 with Nathan Leslie at <a href="http://www.ghotimag.com/InterviewLeslie.htm">Http://www.ghotimag.com/InterviewLeslie.htm</a><br /> 1875 <a href="http://www.ghotimag.com/ReviewLeslie.htm">http://www.ghotimag.com/ReviewLeslie.htm</a><br /> 1876 <a href="http://www.percontra.net/dbr.html">http://www.percontra.net/dbr.html</a></h5> 1877 <p><br /> 1878 <span class="bold">Praise for <a href="catalog.html#view"><i>View 1879 to the North</i></a> :</span></p> 1880 <p>.</p> 1881 <p> "... a woman's life journey from youth to middle age, and her 1882 experiences as a wife, mother, and lover.
