Publisher's Description
In Blending Colors ritual observance and devotional attention reveal territories where dividing lines between the living and the dead are blurred, where ordinary experiences shade to unexpected perspectives. Shining briefly within seasonal changes, and flashing from crepuscular moments of Earth’s turnings, the poems frame loss and confusion in quiet observation, attend to grief and loneliness with imagination, polish memories with concentrated reflection. Throughout the book, birds and animals, authors and artists, ghosts and strangers, and many others appear and inspire. By turns meditative, aphoristic, and comic, Blending Colors is a palette for readers to ponder and enjoy.

“Blending Colors is a veritable potpourri of verses witnessing to the fascinations of a generous mind.”
“In Blending Colors, high culture and the everyday intertwine, the spiritual and the mundane walk side by side, and the reader is privy to hear songs sung by a voice that vibrates with both faith and tender disappointment. This is a graceful, moving, and thought-provoking collection.”
“The speaker of these poems seeks enchantment in a world that steadfastly refuses to offer more than flashes. Sometimes comitragic, sometimes simply meditative, the voice of this twenty-first-century seeker resonates like that of an idealistic—thus inevitably disappointed—friend. Whether pondering Greek mythology or the latest war, social media or a placid icon, Johnson’s poems embody an impressive balance between world-weariness and determined reverence.”
