Jeremiad Johnson is the work of poet, Tim Hawkins, who is well known to both Australian and US readers. In this remarkable work, Hawkins creates an extraordinary figure of our times--Jeremiad Johnson--an evolutionary offspring of the semi-legendary John 'Liver-Eating' Johnson of the North American West.
As Hawkins says, These poems are Johnson's bilious jeremiad, his prolonged lamentation, complaint, screed, rant, cautionary tale and harangue--by turns irascible, peevish, chastened and accepting.
Praise for Jeremiad Johnson
Tim Hawkins' Jeremiad Johnson balances on the razor wire between natural beauty and disgust with the world as it has devolved to us. ...what Hawkins reveals in his poems is a fortifying or merciless vision. Sometimes both.
Elizabeth Kerlikowske
In Jeremiad Johnson, Hawkins takes on the poetic voice of a common man surviving somehow in this world we all share together. This is deft observational poetry that escorts readers into the familiar and recognizable scenes that Hawkins paints for us with vivid imagery, touches of irony and subtle humility.
