The poems in this collection fiercely advocate a munificent wonder and respect for the natural world from our small vantage in a vast universe.

Rooted in the tension between science and wonder, The Night Season probes phenomena we are aware of but will never fully grasp: the workings of the cosmos that we see only eons after their actual occurrence, deep time rendered through artifacts left by people before us, shifts and accretions that occur beneath the earth’s surface that we sometimes feel but never truly witness. A crown of sonnets and several ghazals nestle among epistolary forms and free verse in this collection that gracefully intertwines research and prosody to explore the universe the way only a poet can.

Industry Reviews

"This is a stunning collection. Johnson's poems call forth the best of human sensibility to evoke the limits of what humans can really know; they remind us of how small we are and of the brevity of our existence given the vastness of history above and below us. The collection holds layers of immense phenomena in balance, and it does so with grace." -- Leslie Ullman, author of Unruly Tree: Poems
