Less literally, these poems move through translations and protean transformations. Their subjects are often next to nothing in several senses: cloud shadows racing across a valley before dusk, the predawn expectation of a child's birth, or the static-electric charge of clothing fabric. Throughout, Johnston offers vivid glimpses of the phenomenal world: \"He describes objects with his hands and his eyes, noting texture, heft, and fit\" (\u003ci\u003eBoston Review\u003c\/i\u003e). Equally, one finds a keen attention to sound in the patterning of subtle rhymes and rhythms, demonstrating \"care and precision with line and pause\" (\u003ci\u003ePoetry\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1970, \u003cb\u003eDevin Johnston\u003c\/b\u003e was raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
