Poet’s book is wry homage to childhood

“How to Catch a Falling Knife” is the debut book of poetry by Daniel Johnson, a Salem native who has written for a variety of journals and anthologies.

Published by Alice James Books, a cooperative poetry press, the book is full of strong imagery, poignant surprises and narratives. The poems are deeply introspective and are a mournful but wry homage to a childhood in the Rust Belt and to the subtle dangers of family and overpowering love.

To experience more of the works of Johnson, who lives in Boston with his wife, Ebele, visit www.danielbjohnson.com.
