Description: The poems collected in The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations Millennium General Assembly demonstrate anew the rare incantatory power and stylistic virtuosity of Johnson's work. As a writer, he looks away from nothing in experience, and transforms the stuff of everyday life into something vibrant, wonderful, and strange. These are poems of grief and regret, of nightmare and acceptance, of redemption and the possibility of grace.

They present a vision of an American landscape at once unique and startling, terrifying and true.
