Pine
Poems that travel through time and terrain, seeking solace in the raw physicality of the world.
To grieve is to search. In Pine, Jonathan Johnson's poems travel across continents: through Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Scottish Highlands, the Greek islands, and the mountain wildernesses of the American Northwest, seeking meaning in the spaces left behind. These poems embrace the raw physicality of place, uncovering the deep textures of the natural world as both a witness and companion to loss.
Amid the perpetual elegy of everything, Pine offers moments of improbable wonder. Johnson's voice is steady and rich with narrative, guiding us through landscapes of memory and wilderness alike. In this intimate collection, grief and grace are intertwined, and the worldβagainst all oddsβgoes on.
