Midnight and Shoelaces is a collection of poetry, essays and short stories that grew organically by the author Mark William Johnson. The gifted author has an unflinching vision for investigating the parts of life many of are unprepared to consider deeply, let alone artistically develop and share with the wider world. Author's note: "I have a love hate relationship with my depression, on one hand it is my biggest challenge and has brought me way too close to the edge far too many times, and on the other hand it's strangely familiar and comfortable. It reminds me that I'm alive and tends to spark my creativity." MWJ
