How to Catch a Falling Knife

“To enter the world of Daniel Johnson’s How to Catch a Falling Knife is to enter a playful, celebratory, real, and dangerous place…[Johnson’s] clean, pared down diction recreates real life through the lens of time passed…fearful yet warm, familiar.”
—Gently Read Literature

“With slow imagery, fresh syntax, and dry diction, Daniel Johnson crafts a poetry that hunts absence like an animal in the quiet woods.”
—The Weekly Dig
