Her poem, Streets, explores how identity is lost and found in the places we live. It is one of the longer poems in the book but is divided into 12 sections with each section identified by a location name. Each section sketches a memory of the location that renders not only a physical place but the emotional coordinates of the speaker.

I prefer novels to poetry, but this book of poems had some poignant prose that made me stop and think about the meaning. Like the Psalms, there is a story within the lines. This book was divided into four parts, like "themes." I particularly enjoyed parts 2-4. My favorite poems were Offering, Matins, and Adjusting the Darkness. If you enjoy poetry that includes family, faith, and memories, you'll enjoy this collection of poems by Penny J. Johnson.

recommends it for:
Mothers, wives, poetry fans
I found this little collection to be insightful and entertaining. It brought forth vivid images of childhood, and evoked warm emotional memories, especially of chicken a' la king in my mom's kitchen. Johnson gives an intimate glimpse into the pain and joy of being a wife and mother.
