Produktbeschreibung
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.
