Cities of Mathematics and Desire

"This remarkable style, more like a rapid telephone conversation than like anything transcribable on a page, vivifies poems into a flashing strobe-light flicker of the mind...Judith Johnson has a more primitive grip on some instinctual and pre-intellectual babble of language, so that a clear helter-skelter spring of bubbling sounds waters her poems, as if in some pure obbligato the poems were accompanying themselves on a lute." -- Helen Vendler, New York Times Book ReviewJudith Johnson is the author of 'Cities of Mathematics and Desire', published 2005 under ISBN 9781931357975 and ISBN 1931357978.
