Title: How to Catch a Falling Knife
Description: “To enter the world of Daniel Johnson’s <em>How to Catch a Falling Knife</em> 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.”
—<em>Gently Read Literature</em>

“With slow imagery, fresh syntax, and dry diction, Daniel Johnson crafts a poetry that hunts absence like an animal in the quiet woods.”
—<em>The Weekly Dig</em>

“It’s not easy to make interesting poems, yet <em>How to Catch a Falling Knife</em> is full of them…I promise you’ll be surprised and gratified by what you discover.”
