Johnson reimagines masculinity and is unafraid to unearth its dark elements\, as father\, son\, and witness to the brutality and beauty in and around us. He writes\, ‘Listen: When/I said boys have a storm inside\,/this itch that fills our teeth\, I/was sharing in secret. I meant/we have mothers who gift us ghosts\,/our heads upon a trigger.’ This searing debut is a world of its own\, built with fearlessness\, tenderness\, and grace. Take notice. Luke Johnson has arrived.” —Lee Herrick\, California Poet Laureate \n“In Quiver\, Luke Johnson’s unforgettable debut poetry collection\, he invokes The Old Testament\, its fires\, floods\, and prophecies—to reckon with ‘all the ways a child drowns\, like spiders trapped in spit.’ These are harrowing poems. Yet\, at the heart of Johnson’s unsparing gaze lies enormous compassion—for the ghosts that haunt him\, for the child self who carried ‘scars without witness.’ Quiver is a work of glorious complexity—brutal\, lyrical\, shot through with images that stop you in your tracks. But more than that\, these poems look deeply at the ways the sins of the father are visited on successive generations and move toward breaking the cycle.”  —Ellen Bass — Ellen Bass \n  \nMARIAH BOSCH\n \nMariah Bosch (she/they) is a queer Chicana poet and visual artist from Fresno\, CA. She is a graduate of Fresno State’s MFA program in poetry. Her work can be found on Poets.org\, Small Press Traffic\, Cosmonauts Avenue\, and elsewhere.
